Erected on a round hill overlooking the picturesque village of Santiago do Cacém, the castle has watched over the surroundings since the 12th century, when the country was occupied by the Moors. Today considered a national monument, its square keeps and loopholes that encircle the walls are a reminder of its major role in history.

Wonderful views of the Alentejo coast
The Castel is worth a visit. Unfortunately the church was closed.

The castle ruins cannot be visited "normally" by the public. It contains the city's cemetery.

The castle has a roughly rectangular floor plan and its walls still show traces of a Muslim fortress. The castle of Santiago do Cacém has been classified as a national monument since 1910. What is actually unusual is the cemetery within the castle walls.
