For those who enjoy reliving Portugal's history, especially the medieval period, you must visit the Castelo de Sines.

This is a place responsible for the origin of the city of Sines, as in the 14th century, King Dom Pedro I granted a charter to Sines and administrative autonomy in relation to Santiago do Cacém, with the condition that a defensive wall be built in the city.

In this way, the monarch yielded to the demands of the bourgeois people of Sines and imposed the construction of the castle because he considered it important to protect this coastal area from pirates.

Therefore, at the time, the Castle of Sines was an important watchtower and defense point for the Alentejo region.

Later, Estêvão da Gama was one of the constables of Sines and made improvements to this fortress.

It is said that it was here that his son, the navigator Vasco da Gama, was born, the discoverer of the Maritime Route to India and one of the greatest figures in Portuguese history.

In addition to all the history associated with the Castelo de Sines, it is also a great place to enjoy a fantastic view of the Bay of Sines and admire the sunset in the evenings.

The Castelo de Sines is located 550 meters from the Hotel-Apartament Sinerama.
