The Church of Our Lady of the Sea is located in Cabanas de Tavira, an Algarve locality with a strong connection to the sea. It is situated in the Humberto Simão Neighborhood, an urban area that reflects the calm atmosphere and lifestyle of the local community. Its position offers a tranquil and accessible point of reference for those exploring the village.
This temple is a significant landmark for the community of Cabanas de Tavira. Its construction, inaugurated in 1994, resulted from a collective effort and the dedication of the inhabitants, who also contributed to the acquisition of the image of Our Lady of the Sea, venerated inside. The church is a heartfelt tribute to the village's deep connection with fishing activity and the ocean.
The Church of Our Lady of the Sea stands out for its modern and thoughtful architecture. The building, which underwent expansion and remodeling in 2008, was designed to evoke the shape of a boat. This architectural feature is not merely aesthetic; it is a powerful symbol of Cabanas de Tavira's maritime identity and its rich tradition linked to the sea, making it a point of cultural and architectural interest in the locality.
