Sesimbra with its medieval castle is like a sentry the ruins of its 13th Century castle built by Sancho II protectively overlooks the village.
A few kilometres away to the west is the dramatic cliff top of Cabo Espichel. On this headland can be found the Santuario de Nossa Senhora do Cabo that was constructed at the turn of the 17th Century as a sanctuary and in more recent times has often been used as a location for filming due to its singular architectural design.
