The castle courtyard can be visited free of charge. Unfortunately, the museum's opening hours are a rough guide.

The castle, built in the 13th century in place of a Moorish fortress, towers over the city and offers a beautiful view from the tower.

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.
