The Castle is the most important landmark of Alcácer do Sal, offering breathtaking views of the Sado River, the green rice fields, and the extensive pine forest. Today, it houses one of the Pousadas de Portugal (Paradores), D. Alfonso II. It has always played a crucial role in the life of the town, having been built in 1191 by the Almohad Caliph Ya'qub Al-Mansur.

The castle witnessed pivotal moments in Portuguese history, such as the acclamation of Manuel I as king. It retained its military functions until the 15th century. In 1570, the existing monastery within the castle was expanded, creating the Aracoelli Convent, where the Poor Clares lived until the 19th century. By the 20th century, the convent had been converted into a four-star pousada.
