    Tips

    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.

          The old fortress towers high above the town. Today it is a historic hotel and an interesting museum.

            Alcácer do Sal is the seat of the municipality of Alcácer do Sal, the second largest municipality in Portugal, with an area of 1,499.87 km² but only 11,112 inhabitants (2021), and is subdivided into four parishes. The municipality is bordered to the north by the municipalities of Palmela, Vendas Novas, and Montemor-o-Novo, to the east by Viana do Alentejo and Alvito, to the southeast by Ferreira do Alentejo, to the south and west by Grândola, and to the northwest, across the Sado Estuary, by Setúbal.
            The Sado riverside area is a very pleasant place for a walk or bike ride.
            Here you can also see the immense rice fields.👍🥾

              According to archaeological finds, the settlement of the area around Alcácer do Sal began between the Neolithic and Phoenician periods, the Roman Empire and subsequent Islamic settlement. Due to its location on the Sado River, Alcacer do Sal became more and more a popular town among tourists. This was also helped by the fact that Alcacer is located near Lisbon and on the Atlantic beaches of the Alentejo, and the Sado delta area became a protected nature reserve after the Carnation Revolution in 1974. A visit to the fortress of Alcacer do Sal is worth it just because of the wonderful view over the salt marshes, rice fields and storks' nests of the river landscape.
