The castle sits atop a hill overlooking the Guadiana River. The river forms the natural border between Portugal and Spain.

The "old" castle of Alcoutim is located about one kilometer north of the town, on a hill overlooking the Guadiana River and the Castillo de San Marcos in Spain. The site complements a visit to the Archaeological Museum and is freely accessible.

Alcoutim Castle was built in the second half of the 13th century, under the reign of D. Sancho II. This castle played a crucial role during the Reconquista and the War of Restoration of Independence. In the 20th century, it was subject to conservation and restoration. Currently, it houses a museum that displays the rich archaeological heritage of the castle and the surrounding region, including pieces from the Neolithic to the Modern Period.

The Castelo Velho de Alcoutim, also known as Castro de Santa Bárbara, is a structure of Islamic military architecture in the Algarve, built during the period of the Emirate of Córdoba. The castle, abandoned in the 11th century, lost its military purpose after the Christian Reconquest. It is currently the subject of archaeological research, focusing on Islamic settlement and economic activities, such as mining. It was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1997.

Unfortunately, we were unlucky and were at the castle on a Monday, but it is closed then.

Located on a hill, the Castillo de San Marcos in Sanlúcar de Guadiana was a strategic enclave for the control of the traffic of the Guadiana river and the Portuguese territory. It offers good views of the municipality, the Guadiana river and the Portuguese city of Alcoutim, on the other side of the border.

Located at the top of the morrow the castle offers beautiful panoramic views of the village of Sanlúcar de Guadiana, the Guadiana River and the Portuguese city of Alcoutim. A nice lookout to appreciate this beautiful onubense landscape.
