breathtaking view of the coast

The castle is certainly the most photographed monument in the city. It's in a valley surrounded by mountains with a single opening to the south, which overlooks the sea and part of the city. I recommend you drive up because there is a little uphill path and in the middle of august walking you could fail. The first thing we found was a pine forest where they have installed several barbecues (a measure taken to prevent forrest fires) Up a little road we found on our left the church of Nossa Senhora da Consolaçao do Castelo, founded in the twelfth century and rebuilt in the eighteenth. It continued with a small cemetery and finally the castle in the background.

It's an important medieval fortification. But of course the best part is the breathtaking view of the coast.

The view from the castle!

Sesimbra and the area around it are magical: visit the magnificent castle, go to Setubal and its delicious seafood, go in the huge natural reservation nearby or enjoy the beaches...

Whatever you like, that part of Portugal has it!

The Castle of Sesimbra beyond beauty...

O Castelo de Sesimbra além da beleza ...

O Castelo de Sesimbra além da beleza que possui tem algo de arrebatador que é a vista que proporciona do seu alto. A medieval estrutura ergue-se numa falésia 240 metros acima do nível do mar, à entrada da vila de Sesimbra. Não muito longe está o Cabo Espichel.

The Castle of Sesimbra beyond beauty that has got something that is sweeping the view it offers its high. The medieval structure stands on a cliff 240 meters above sea level, the entrance to the village of Sesimbra. Not far away is the Cape Espichel.
