A small town nestled on the side of a hill, on a bend in the border river, the Guadiana. And across the road, Spain.

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.
