Aljezur Castle (Castelo de Aljezur) is a medieval ruin located on a hill above the old town of Aljezur in the Algarve, Portugal. It was originally built by the Moors in the 10th century and later conquered by the Christians in 1249. Today, you can see the remains of walls, towers, and a cistern, with stunning views over the valley and coast.
