Sesimbra Castel

Sesimbra Castel stands above the fishing village and its bay. Dates from the 12th century and visitors have to climb high to get the stunning view over Sesimbra and its coastline. With a Romanesque style, is commonly called “Castle of the Moors”. Part of the castle was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, but later in 1930, it was recovered.

A baroque style church, with an impressive interior covered in blue tiles. Here you can also contemplate the Medieval walls and citadel.
