    I really enjoy this place every time. Scenic views, tranquility and peace. 'Must take a break' spot while cycling in the area... unfortunately, they have removed a stunning statue of a local mermaid. It was in front of a christian chapel and it looks like it was a bother. What a shame really.

  • 4/5 Hayes W. 4 years ago on Google
    This is an important Castle that served to protect the town of Sesimbra and the inlet to the bay. It was very strategic. They also have a small church on the Castle grounds. Great views from here.

  • 1/5 Wilco M. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't know if this place even exists. There is an information area with a tiny bit of info, that might be it, but it is only in Portuguese. There is also a restaurant which has quite a bit on the menu, but not much in stock. The waiting time is very long for what is actually in stock. The restaurant is also cash-only. The castle is worth visiting, this isn't if it actually exists.
