Visit monument
Sesimbra Castle is a well-preserved medieval castle situated on a hill overlooking the town of Sesimbra and the Atlantic Ocean. Built during the 9th century by the Moors, the castle was later captured by the Portuguese in the 12th century, during the Christian Reconquista. Over the centuries, it played a strategic role in protecting the region from invasions due to its elevated position and proximity to the coast.

The castle is surrounded by sturdy walls and offers stunning panoramic views of the Sesimbra coastline, the Arrábida mountain range, and the surrounding countryside. Within its walls, you can visit a small chapel, Nossa Senhora do Castelo, which dates back to the 12th century and was restored in later periods.
