It was built 365 years ago at a time when danger came from the sea and as maritime boundaries had to be defended, it was meticulously restored in 2014 so visitors can understand the original functions of each space, from the storerooms area to the Governor's house, through the dormitories, giving you an idea of how these fortifications worked. It is a cultural space that helps different kinds of events like exhibitions, musical performances. It also contains Sesimbra’s Maritime Museum. It is a symbol of Sesimbra, in a true house of culture and a mandatory point of passage for all who visit us. The view of the beach, the town and the harbor, make it a place of choice to contemplate Sesimbra. SESIMBRA'S MARITIME MUSEUM The museum exhibits a rich heritage linked to the sea and fishing, largely the result of working closely with the fishing community. A 5000 year old anchor stock associated with navigation in the Roman period and a set of hooks and net weights dated between 2500 and 200 BC are the oldest artifacts in exhibition, and transport the visitor back in time to meet the various peoples who passed through the territory, as well as their strong relationship with the sea. How Sesimbra’s fishermen travelled, their devotion to the sea and seafaring, the various fishing gear, the Parque Marítimo and King D. Carlos are some of the subject areas that occupy the various areas of the site. Many of the exhibits were provided by Sesimbra fishermen or their families and belonged to vessels or fishing stores. Some of the models were made by local authors, and much of the available information was compiled and worked in collaboration with our seamen, people of immense knowledge. Furthermore, using new technologies you can query a database about our fishermen, their main fishing routes and fishing grounds. The museum is divided into themes that occupy several areas of the Santiago Fortress, an emblematic building, also connected to the sea, which through this model becomes an "exhibit" of the Museum itself. The reception is located next to the Tourist Office at the monument entrance. After purchasing the ticket and being informed about the context, visitors can circulate through the various areas and choose how best to organize their own visit. A year after opening its doors, the Sesimbra Maritime Museum received an honorable mention and two awards from the Portuguese Museology Association at the Museum of the Year Awards, thus recognizing the work carried out by the City Council, in partnership with the fishing community, which greatly contributed to making this museum a reality.

Sesimbra Castle Classified as a National Monument on June 16, 1910, the Castle of Sesimbra is the last of the Castles on the sea, which arrived, well preserved, until our days. The Castle of Sesimbra is the last of the Portuguese castles on the sea to maintain the medieval moth. It was classified as National Monument on June 16, 1910 and within its walls brings together various reasons of interest. Its walls have a unique view over the village and the sea. Inside there are two permanent exhibits on its history, heritage interpretation center, church, a disabled cemetery.

It stands out in the landscape by its imposing. The origins of the Castle of Sesimbra go back to the IX century, period of the Muslim occupation of the territory. In 1165 is conquered by D. Afonso Henriques, and in 1191 is lost to the Almohads. Its definitive reconquest takes place on the initiative of D. Sancho I, in 1199, monarch who attributes the first charter to the village of Sesimbra, then based inside the monument. Throughout the Middle Ages, and given its strategic importance in defense of the maritime and land borders of the kingdom, the Castle is the target of numerous enlargements. From the fifteenth century, with the development of maritime activities such as fishing or shipbuilding, in Póvoa Ribeirinha, the population is progressively being located by the bay. In 1516, the year of the Visitation of D. Jorge de Lencastre, Master of the Order of Santiago, there were already evident signs of abandonment, which were accentuated throughout the following centuries. The advanced state of ruin of the monument ends up being fought between 1933 and 1945, with the works of conservation promoted by the General Direction of Buildings and National Monuments.
