A small but beautiful park located next to the fortress in the historic center of Santiago do Cacém. A small chapel is located in the center.

An unusual place for a cemetery.

On the northern slope of Santiago do Cacém Castle, almost attached to the hill, stands this beautiful and ancient chapel called S. Pedro. Its architecture, typical of the Alentejo region, and its location lend the place a certain magic.

The castle has a roughly rectangular floor plan and its walls still show traces of a Muslim fortress. The castle of Santiago do Cacém has been classified as a national monument since 1910. What is actually unusual is the cemetery within the castle walls.

Church of Mercy from the 17th century

Cemetery within the castle walls

Erected on a round hill overlooking the picturesque village of Santiago do Cacém, the castle has watched over the surroundings since the 12th century, when the country was occupied by the Moors. Today considered a national monument, its square keeps and loopholes that encircle the walls are a reminder of its major role in history.

Wonderful views of the Alentejo coast The Castel is worth a visit. Unfortunately the church was closed.
