The castle features high stone walls and defensive towers positioned along the perimeter, forming part of the historical fortifications that encircle Lagos.
Built during the late 15th century, the castle served as a crucial defensive point for protecting the maritime trade routes and local population from naval invasions.
The castle hosts exhibitions of archaeological artifacts discovered within its grounds, revealing details about daily life during the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.
Visitors can reach the castle through the old town of Lagos, with several parking areas and public transportation stops located within walking distance.
