The way up to the former castle of Mértola is a bit difficult. The Castelo can be reached via a small side street, the entrance is right next to the church of Nossa Senhora da Anunciação.

A beautiful view over the region compensates for the ascent to the castle grounds. The keep is extremely well preserved and gives an impression of castle life in Mértola.
