The old Aljezur on the mountain is interesting; it is worth walking through the town up to the castle to experience the narrow streets, small houses and steep climbs. Nothing is historically original, as the great earthquake of 1755 destroyed the town. The new Aljezur was then built and only later was the old part rebuilt.

Hiking

Aljezur is divided into the old and new town. Coming from the south, the old town is on the left on a slope. It is dominated by the Moorish castle, which lies above the town. The new town can be reached by crossing the small bridge over the river, the Ribeira de Aljezur. The central square of the new town is that around the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Alva, which was built in the 18th century
