(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cabo Espichel
Cabo Espichel has been a reference point for navigators since ancient times. Its strategic importance led to the construction of various fortifications over the centuries, such as the Fort of St. John the Baptist. The Capella de Nossa Senhora do Cabo, a maritime sanctuary, is another point of interest, with a history dating back to the 15th century.
Castelo de Sesimbra
Overlooking the city's incredible bay, it was built in Romanesque style and used the ancient Moorish fortifications from which it was named "Castle of the Moors". The view of the stunning landscape of the region, and in particular the peninsula of Troy, the estuaries of the river Tagus and Sado and the impressive Cape Espichel, is unique. In an excellent state of conservation this imposing monument to the history of Portugal is worth a visit.
Castelo de Palmela
The castle of Palmela is one of the most impressive places in the region. Busy, conquered, lost and recovered, it is a faithful testimony of the battles between the 12th and 14th centuries to establish the territory of Portugal. Built at a unique strategic point - between the Tagus and Sado rivers - it was founded by the Romans, probably in 310 BC. The castle was successively adding elements: the primitive round towers by the Romans; the square towers by the Moors; the entrance tower and the fortifications of cannons by the Portuguese kings. It also has a great view over the Arrábida mountain range and the Sado estuary.
