      Alcácer do Sal is one of the oldest cities in Europe, founded before 1000 BC by the Phoenicians. Like its neighbours, Lisbon and Setúbal, it supplied salt, salted fish, horses for export and food for ships that traded tin with Cornwall. Later, with the Visigothic invasion, it regained importance, becoming the episcopal seat. Invaded by the Arabs, it took the name of Qasr Abu Danis, and one of the strongest fortresses in the Iberian Peninsula was built there. The Vikings tried to plunder it but were unsuccessful. During the Arab rule, it was the capital of the province of Al-Kassr. D. Afonso Henriques conquered it in 1158. It was only during the reign of D. Afonso II, with the help of a fleet of crusaders, that the city was finally conquered by the Moors, becoming the head of the Order of Santiago. This town was elevated to city status on July 12, 1997.

        Alcacer do Sal is a beautiful town on the right bank of the Sado and is easy to explore on foot. Small streets and steps lead up to the castle. There is a beautiful panorama of the city from the left bank.
