Sulla bassa collina sopra il porto di Sines<\/a>, the castle looks out over the Atlantic that carried the town’s most famous son eastwards: the fortress where tradition says Vasco da Gama was born around 1469, in the household of the castle’s commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortezza della costa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The castle was built in the fourteenth century, in the reign of King Pedro I, to defend a stretch of coast long raided from the sea, and its keep \u2014 the torre de menagem \u2014 still anchors the walls over the old quarter. In the following century the fortress passed to the Order of Christ, and the town below grew around the fishing harbour and, later, the navigator’s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il navigatore e il mastio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vasco da Gama’s father served as alcaide of Sines, and the tradition that the future explorer of the sea route to India was born inside the castle gave the building its place in national memory. The keep now holds the town’s natural history museum, and the ramparts look over the beach and the modern port \u2014 a short walk from the Porto Covo<\/a> costa a nord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
