Mouraria, a section of Moura, is one of the largest and best preserved Moorish areas in the whole country. In Rua da Muralha Nova, on the edge of this quarter, is a section of the walls of the castle built in the late 17th century. Another essential item to be included in a tour of the town is the Arab Museum. This has been built around a well that dates from the time of the Moorish occupation. Above the building that was once the Town Hall, but now houses the Municipal Library, is the Torre da Taipa, also from the Arab period.
