Small castle with a beautiful view. Entrance is free. There is a small museum with excavated objects(dating back 25 million years). You won't spend more than one hour there. You can also visit the old convent near the castle.

Lovely experience at the castle. Incredibly cheap for the time we spent there, at just over a euro each. Would only advise against going here if you are bad with stairs as there are some really steep parts that could be deemed dangerous.
Well worth a visit with wonderful panoramic views, a small but very interesting museum professionally designed and laid out, plus other attractions within adding to the charm and variety.
Not much to see as it isn't very big but still amazing none the less. I just love the history of the castle. The views from the top are fantastic.
Great Historical National Monument.The three towers remain within the cordon of walls, the remnants of the alcaldaria located within the structure. Timeline of Castle of Loulé: The Romans first occupied the site Occupied in 715 by the Moors. Conquered in the 11th century by Ferdinand, King of León. Occupied in 1249 by D. Paio Peres Correia. In 1268 Afonso III had the area populated after reconstructing and expanding the walls. A foral was issued in 1266 from Lisbon by Afonso III of Portugal. In 1422, Henrique de Meneses, 1st Count of Loulé re-built the towers and walls of the castle. A new foral was issued by Manuel of Portugal in 1501. The castle was damaged during an earthquake in 1969.
A nice castle, a little small but well organised and kept in good condition, some areas appear to be under renovation. Staff are very helpful and friendly, nice little courtyard that you can enjoy the sun.
Very small, but only 1,62eur to go in. So if you are there, check it out
Impressive castle in the heart of a beautiful town. Heard great things of the market... but was closed when arrived. Great shopping district too!
