Aljezur Castle

Highlight • Castle

At the top of the hill, Aljezur Castle stands on remains dating back to the Bronze Age, later integrated into the Islamic defensive system of the 12th–13th centuries. Conquered by the Christians during the reign of D. Afonso III, it still preserves part of its walls, two towers, and a vaulted cistern of Arab origin, as well as ruins of ancient dwellings.

Even marked by time, the castle is a must-see monument: history in every stone and an open view over the valley and the Atlantic that rewards the climb.

Aljezur Castle and the Old Town

Highlight • Castle

Located in the heart of the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina, Aljezur is a picturesque little town standing on either side of the waters of the Ribeira de Aljezur. To the west of the river, the old town reveals many small alleys, all guarded by the remains of a 10th century Moorish fortress. To the east of the river, the new town, which dates back to the 18th century, is home to most of the population.

Whether you are roaming on the Trilho dos Pescadores or the Caminho Histórico, which both pass through Aljezur, you will find all the necessary amenities for eating and resting.
