    Unfortunately, we were unlucky and were at the castle on a Monday, but it is closed then.

    Alcoutim Castle was built in the second half of the 13th century, under the reign of D. Sancho II. This castle played a crucial role during the Reconquista and the War of Restoration of Independence. In the 20th century, it was subject to conservation and restoration. Currently, it houses a museum that displays the rich archaeological heritage of the castle and the surrounding region, including pieces from the Neolithic to the Modern Period.

    The castle sits atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River. The river forms the natural border between Portugal and Spain.
