The neighborhood
Sesimbra is home to a Moorish castle. Sesimbra Castle's position was crucial for the defence of Portugal, and the castle was one of the first victories for the Christian
conquest of Portugal over the Moors in 1165. The castle received repairs in the 1930s. The castle stands 230 metres (755 feet) above the fishing village and has fantastic views. Inside the castle, there are battlements and a church. It's one of the most visited monuments in the area and well worth it.
Sesimbra has a huge fishing heritage, and it has a bustling fishing harbour. Sesimbra is mainly a fishing town, so the fish in the seafood restaurants is always fresh. The marina is also a trendy place to relax.
A short drive to the western point, Cabo Espichel, which has impressive cliffs, is home to a pilgrimage church, a lighthouse and wait for it… dinosaur footprints and tracks!!! t is a place to visit while you are in Sesimbra.
To the east of Sesimbra town in Serra da Arrábida, where you can find beautiful beaches hidden by lavish hills. It's a great place for hikers and cyclists. For those looking for some adrenaline, you can go kayaking along the coastline of cliffs, caves and beaches.
The Fortress of Santiago has coexisted alongside the community of Sesimbra for 365 years. It was built when danger came from the sea, and maritime borders had to be defended. However, the course of history has gradually made it lose its defensive importance.
