Aljustrel, Mining town in Beja District, Portugal
In southern Portugal, Aljustrel stretches across 458 square kilometers of land characterized by Mediterranean climate and gentle hills at 185 meters elevation.
The Romans established mining operations in Aljustrel, known as Metallum Vispascense, which continued until the Moors controlled the region until 1235.
The municipality celebrates its annual holiday on June 13th with traditional festivities, local crafts exhibitions, and regional food presentations.
Visitors can reach Aljustrel by regional roads from Lisbon, located 125 kilometers away, with accommodation options including Hotel Villa Aljustrel.
The merger of Aljustrel and Rio dos Minhos parishes in 2013 created a unified administrative structure preserving both communities' identities.
