The Castle of Beja, a central point of Beja

The castle walls of the fortress of Beja. The central point of the city

Moura Castle is a very old fortress, composed of round and square towers, and is the first fortress known to Moura. The Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption was built here, which incorporated the Church of Santiago, the former Moorish mosque, and became the mother church.

As with most castles in Portugal, not only is admission free, but you can even climb the often completely unsecured castle walls via adventurous staircases. Something like that would be unthinkable in Germany for security reasons, but we think it's great.

There's plenty to see in Beja, including the Sé Catedral de Beja, the castle, and a lovely shopping street with numerous restaurants. However, it's undeniable that the ravages of time have taken their toll on this city; if you like morbid charm, this is the place for you. The town's greatest advantage, however, is its very central location in the heart of the Alentejo.

From this tower, we have a spectacular view of the Alentejo landscape. The fields are now full of olive and almond trees, but in the past, they were cultivated with wheat.

Dominating the skyline with an imposing presence, the Castle of Beja stands as a testament to the city’s resilient past. Dating back to the Moorish period, this ancient fortress has witnessed the ebb and flow of history, from medieval battles to tranquil periods of peace. As you ascend its weathered steps, you’re greeted by panoramic views that stretch across the Alentejo landscape.
