The origins of Sesimbra Castle date back to the 9th century, during the period of Muslim occupation of the territory. In 1165, it was conquered by King Afonso Henriques, but in 1191 it was lost to the Almohads. Its definitive reconquest was carried out by King Sancho I in 1199, who granted the first charter to the village of Sesimbra, which at the time was located within the castle walls.

Throughout the Middle Ages, due to its strategic importance in defending the kingdom’s maritime and land borders, the castle underwent numerous expansions

The meeting of the mountains and the sea gave rise to a stretch of fine-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters that one would expect to find only in the Mediterranean, such as Figueirinha, Galapos, and Portinho da Arrábida.

This region was favored by Franciscan friars who, between the 16th and 19th centuries, lived in the still-standing Convent and meditated in the secluded chapels scattered throughout the Serra.

Arrábida offers excellent conditions for agriculture and livestock farming, resulting in high-quality local products. Among the highlights are the wines, which you can explore by following the Blue Coast Wine Route. This route takes you to the charming village of Azeitão, where you can taste some delicious cheeses."

Handmade Tiles – Three Different Techniques

Traditional Hand-Painting:
Each tile is carefully painted by hand using fine brushes and vibrant ceramic paints, allowing for intricate and unique designs.

Stencil Technique:
A stencil is applied to the tile surface, and colors are brushed or sprayed through the stencil, creating repeated patterns with precise edges.

Relief or Embossed Technique:
Tiles are molded or carved to create raised designs, adding texture and depth before being painted or glazed by hand.
