Santiago do Cacem is a picturesque town with an historic castle in the municipality of Setubal in the Baixo Alentejo region. The area around Santiago do Cacém has a long history and is believed to have been settled from at least the Iron Age and probably the preceding Stone Age. The main attraction in Santiago do Cacem is the magnificent castle, the Castelo de Santiago do Cacem which dominates the hilltop around which the town has grown. Parts of the Moorish walls still survive but the castle was enlarged and strengthened during the medieval period.
