The António Gaspar memorial at Castelo de São Jorge commemorates the long-serving castle warden, who was inextricably linked to this place for many visitors. Nestled among walls, trees, and offering views of the city, the small memorial area invites a moment of quiet reflection. A peaceful, personal moment away from the main viewpoints.

Panoramic Views – Hotel Palmela Formerly a Convent of the Order of Santiago, nestled in a medieval castle, the Pousada of Palmela, also known as Hotel Palmela, has retained its majesty and the dignity of its former use, whilst offering luxurious accommodation. The cloisters remain intact within the surrounding gallery and are now used as a haven of peace and tranquillity for guests to enjoy. The former convent rooms are now sitting rooms and the convent refectory is now the hotel dining room. The Hotel Palmela is situated 40 kms from Lisbon and its hilltop setting offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area. This historic Hotel Castelo De Palmela has 28 rooms, including 7 superior rooms and 7 suites. All rooms have en-suite bathroom, air conditioning/heating, minibar, hairdryer, safe, telephone, cable TV and internet access. The Pousada Palmela is set in a charming hilltop town centred round the castle which was built by the Moors following their reconquest in the 12th century. It lies at the heart of one of Portugal’s famous wine producing regions.

In wartime situations, it controlled the space between Lisbon and the South, between the Tagus and Sado rivers. During the Islamic period and the Christian offensive in the 12th and 13th centuries, this geostrategic position was compatible with other fortified sites—Coina, Sesimbra, and the Sado riverbank. In the surrounding area—with good conditions for grazing and a large area of agricultural land—some rural communities settled during the Islamic period, such as the village of Alto da Queimada (Serra do Louro). Inside the wall, the ruins of the Church of Santa Maria do Castelo welcome visitors: Palmela's first parish church, probably from the 12th century (founded by King Afonso Henriques?), subject to interventions mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries and severely damaged by the 1755 earthquake. The walls, the pentagonal Keep—a 16th-century construction—are part of the original structure. The castle dates back to the 14th century, where the Bishop of Évora, D. Garcia de Meneses, was imprisoned in the waterless cistern for conspiring against King John II. The bishop died there from poisoning in 1484. The parade ground and barracks are worth visiting. As it stands, the castle is the result of several construction campaigns—repairs, reconstructions, and expansions—up until the 18th century. Archaeological work has identified some sections of the wall from the Islamic period, and other construction phases are recognized, likely dating from the post-reconquest period and, later, from the reign of King John I. The bastion system that surrounds the first line of fortification was commissioned by King Pedro II. In the house of the Prior-Major of the Order, or the military commander of the fortress—after the abolition of the orders (in 1834)—the explorer of African lands, Hermenegildo Carlos de Brito Capelo, son of the fortress's governor, was born on February 4, 1841. Palmela Castle was classified as a National Monument by Decree-Law of June 16, 1910. Parking outside the walls is recommended.

Behind the simple facade on Rua das Portas de Santo Antão lies one of the city's most magnificent palaces – a true architectural gem. What now serves as a cultural center and restaurant was originally built in the 17th century as the city palace of the Alverca family. The magnificent rooms, with their Moorish and neo-Baroque elements, speak of bygone splendors. Access to the courtyard in front of the restaurant is free, but in return, quiet and consideration for the "actual" guests are expected. ;-)

A beautiful and multifaceted city, wonderful Lisbon 🫶 🇵🇹

A project that honors the castle's residents. Small but interesting.

The absolute highlight is the location. Fantastic panoramic view from the Atlantic to Lisbon. The rooms are large and functionally furnished, the bathroom is large and has a bathtub. Breakfast - the usual as in all PESTANA hotels, not really great, but sufficient. The staff is friendly. Anyone looking for absolute peace and quiet and a starting point for exploring the Alentejo and Lisbon is in good hands here.
