Small, wel preserved castle. Free entrance. €2 fee for entrance to the tower. Stuning view, and free toilets. Be aware it closes between 12:30 and 14:00

A fascinating medieval castle with lots of history and great views from the top of the tower. Only €2 entry.

Proper castle that. And free to go round, except the tower which is just €2. The art exhibition is small but worth a free look around as well.

cool place to visit, the tower cost 2 euro and have a really nice view. Highest point in the town.

Beautiful castle. You can visit the tower. It cost 2€. Students pay 1,50 and a family ticket is 4 € for 4 persons. A great view from the top of the tower. There is a garden around the castle. Inside, there is also a museum.

Beja Castle is a remarkable slice of Portuguese history, beautifully preserved in the Alentejo region. The castle dates back to the 13th century, with a unique mix of architectural styles that reflect its long and varied past. The towering keep, which is one of the tallest in Portugal, offers stunning panoramic views over Beja and the scenic Alentejo plains—it’s absolutely worth the climb! Exploring the inner courtyard, walls, and towers feels like stepping back in time, and there are informative plaques throughout to give context to the castle’s role in the region’s defense. The surrounding gardens add to the charm, making it a peaceful spot to relax and take in the view. This is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or photography. Beja Castle combines historical depth with beautiful scenery and is an ideal destination for a memorable day out in Alentejo!

It's an amazing place to visit. I was able to experience what it was like to live in Beja 700 years ago. There are many plagues with explanations of the evolution of the castle as warfare tactics changed over the centuries. The tower is breathtaking.

Very well kept building with much art and sculpture inside. Entry is very cheap.

Art for art lovers . Baja have it around just walk and you will find

Very well situated and has food places near it.

The old church here has an impressive interior, but the rest of the exhibits in the museum tend to be dark and gloomy. None of the information boards have English translations, so much of the explanatory information is lost to non-Portuguese speakers. That said, the entrance fee is very cheap and includes the entrance to another museum.

A beautiful and interesting place to visit - the sad but romantic story of Sister Mariana whose love letters to a French young man named Noel Barton, Chamilly's Marquis were discovered after her death. These letters were world renowned. The church is very intricately carved with much gold leaf used. I enjoyed an excellent salad to finish off the day .

A small regional museum housed in an old convent of Our Lady of the Conception. It is worth a visit, especially if you like late Gotic and Baroque architecture as well as tiles - there are beautiful azulejos everywhere, both blue and white (sometimes also yellow) in the Baroque style and also some late Gothic Moorish looking azulejos. Housing a beautiful marble head of Julius Caesar as well, one of the few made when he was still alive. Friendly staff and hopefully they'll be able to make renovations of the building soon enough, the place deserves some decent care and restoration.

Convent is actually a Pousada Hotel. But you can explore the convent's massive rooms by just walking in. Lovely calm impressive building. Good as a hotel too with good swimming pool.

A one large room display museum built over town ruins, principally some roman baths associated with a villa. I enjoyed our visit but leave 15 minutes extra for the curator to turn up after his lunch. Leaflets are now in English and other languages also😊

Free entry and very interesting. Huge glass floor over archaeological remains so you float above them. Limited English information on exhibits and you are provided with shoe covers.

Small archeological site allowing you to see the archeology through floor glass. Free.

If you receive people in a museum, you should be at least quiet, if you don't want to be polite. The employee who received me today around 5 PM was neither.

Beautiful modern building. It has some great ruins under the glass floors. It's filled with explainatory boards, but in Portuguese only. It's free though!

Very interesting and well organised. But no Englisch Translation..

Says it opens at 14, did not open at 14:02

Villa Romana de Pisões Type: historical ruins Time spent: 20 min Price: changeable Car Parking: available, free, 3-4 max 1/It is extremely hard to get there. In case of a car - N18 [3 km] + off roads [almost 3 km], in case of a bike - Beja - City Park - Beach Cinco Reis - Ruins. Most of the road is a path in the field. If you like your car, think about it. 2/I was told to pay 3 EUR after a few minutes paid 6. Also, no one gave me a ticket. In Troia [Portugal], the price is 5 EUR, in Vilamoura and Estoi - 2 or 3, in Evora - free. So, you can visit them as well and compare. 3/Even as for ruins they are in bad condition. After the rainy week, they are flooded. And take into consideration, that they are small. The pictures from the ads are just taken from a specific angle.

This was quite a trek on dirt roads and when you get there parking is limited to three spaces. We were a bit wary but the custodian was excellent and passionately told us about the excavations in a mix of English and gestures that was enough to make herself understood. The remains are off a Roman rural estate and are surprisingly extensive. The museum shows various stages of excavation and then on the site you can see the baths, hypocaust, pools and a lot of mosaics. Certainly better than we expected and well worth the €3 entry fee.

Great little place. The road takes you through a farm and it seems you're in the middle of no where, but once you get there a kind lady will open the gate and explain about the ruins. It is €3 each for anyone over 12.

I tried to choose some photos that were a little different from those others. If you find your self on a gravel road surrounded by olive trees or corn you're in the right place! The site is on a big piece of land with a house attached. It seems to draw in few visitors but I admit I was there rather early in the day go complete my trip to the Algarve. The mosaics are in tact for the most part and I did what I enjoy most which was to walk the house and get a feel of the layout and placement of the structure. The bath complex was also quite nice and I'd not seem a hypocaust system so we'll in tact that I could crawl in and see the parts and bits of the structure below. I stayed a short while but it was well worth the excursion.

Interesting but l info signs etc undergoing renovations. Very helpful lady explained a great deal of the history of how it was discovered and the layout of the villa.

There's only one tarmac road to the site which can be found in the village of Santa Vitoria, turn off by the school and follow a single track road right to end of the tarmac, this is the location of the Roman villa and visitor centre. Very interesting with a near complete swimming pool and several mosaic floors. Closed on Mondays.

It's a very distant Place in thé Middle of nowhere.The mosaics suffer in open air, not covered or protected.Hard to imagine Romains been here...Now dry place without water,very hot in summer

It’s a beautiful garden with variety of plants and trees. Kids play area is also available and a music stage to relax. Overall worth a visit

Amazing Atmosphere. Beautiful park just next to the police station office in Beja . Good place to spend some time with friends and family . Recommended...

Pleasant gardens with many ancient trees. A quiet place to relax.

Nice place to visit, quite, beautiful and interesting. Plenty of space for kids to have fun, even though the playground is closed due Covid-19. Good place to chill, read, or simply enjoy nature in the middle of the city. Ducks will welcome you!

Amazing park so much beautiful flowers and trees

Amazing tourist attractions place

Pleasant enough as an in town garden, but a lot more gravel than grass. Maybe I'm spoilt by green UK. Massive aviary for just a dozen or so hens too. Strange. Quite a peaceful place to sit - although there was continuous piped music while we were there.

I've tried their Versátil rose wine and it's absolutely amazing. This bottle’s bursting with strawberry and raspberry vibes, crisp, elegant, and really smooth. 💯

The Vila Gale hotel offered us the tour. Our surprise was that the young guide with glasses who was there today, February 28th at 4 pm, didn't even greet us on arrival. I describe it because he didn't even tell us his name, he notifies several groups and he doesn't even tell us that the tour is going to start. It seems that he didn't like that we were the only spanish in the group. When he starts the talk in Portuguese, he doesn't tell us that he's going to give it in English as well. We left early because he is the worst guide I've ever had on a tour by far. I give 3 stars because the winery does look very nice and well kept but with staff with that attitude you can't go with the tours.

(Translated by Google) The Jorge Vieira Museum is currently a tiny fraction of what it should be, as the pieces and drawings on display only fill two small rooms, but it is still a must-see.

(Translated by Google) The Jorge Vieira Museum is located in the Governor's house, Beja castle. Jorge Vieira, great sculptor of Portuguese modern art of the 20th century, born in Lisbon, was an "Alentejo at heart". He donated an important part of his work to the city of Beja, which includes sculptures, models and drawings. The museum, although not very large, brings together a significant number of works, well displayed, with adequate lighting, allowing a unique experience for the visitor. I would also like to highlight the service provided by the employee, she was very attentive and provided relevant information about the sculptor, his work and life. Entry to the museum is free. Come and meet. Published on 12Apr24 (Original) O Museu Jorge Vieira está instalado na casa do Governador, castelo de Beja. Jorge Vieira, grande escultor da arte moderna portuguesa do século XX, lisboeta por nascimento foi um "alentejano do coração".

O museu, não sendo muito grande, reune um número significativo de obras, bem expostas, com iluminação adequada, permitindo uma experiência única ao visitante. Destaco ainda o atendimento da funcionária, foi muito atenciosa e prestou informações relevantes sobre o escultor, sua obra e vida. A entrada no museu é gratuita. Venha conhecer. Publicado a 12abr24

(Translated by Google) Located inside the castle, exactly in a building that also houses the tourist information point, sale of tickets to the tower and souvenirs. Gratuitous.

Mannerist style cathedral from the late XVI century, one of sites to take a look in town.

Spectacular tiles . Amazing collection of art and religious paraphernalia. Well worth visit.

Beautiful cloisters tiled in beautiful portuguese tiles. Whilst impressive, the building is in desperate need of some TLC. The paintings are all in poor condition. None I'd the interesting archeological exhibits have explanatory notes in English... The cover charge of 2 euro is small. Maybe it should be increased so the saving of the paintings and building can be accelerated. Worth a visit but don't expect to be in awe

Beautiful simple church that is worth visiting if you are stopping by the castle. Lots of blue tile artwork all over the walls, moat of it appears to be original.

Nice to visit and near u can drink or eat

Good art

I'm loving it 😍💓

Not so great. The chicken was 90% bones. Cheese and olives for starter were rubbish. On the good side, the sangria was really good and the price quite cheap.

Nice location right on the main square of Beja. I had several times lunch there and enjoyed the food. Prices are very reasonable to. Outside seating available.

Good prices on salads

(Translated by Google) This adventure was disturbing... well located, but with a very short menu! I ended up ordering the hake fillets and Russian salad... I was very surprised to be served very slowly by a staff member who clearly had little knowledge. When I asked about a brand of beer, I was forced to see what they had... barely two quality Sagres medium and mini... After that came the dish, very well stocked with Russian salad and arugula (?) and the arugula was in sufficient quantities to be considered a "small presence"... I don't really understand what they were doing there, as well as the fillets, which were in good quantity and well fried, were the best thing about the entire lunch... The price is Praça da República prices... Definitely a solid 2... I hope they resolve this because balsamic vinegar is good but it doesn't solve anything... (Original) Esta aventura foi perturbadora... enfim muito bem localizado, mas com uma ementa resumidissima! Acabei por ir nos filetes de pescada e salada russa...

Após isso veio o prato, muito bem apetrechado de salada russa e rúcula (?) sendo que a rúcula estava em quantidades suficientes para considerar uma "presençazita"... Não compreendo bem o que lá fazia, bem como os filete que em boa quantidade e bem fritos foram a melhor coisa do almoço inteiro... O preço é preço de Praça da República... Definitivamente um sólido 2... espero que resolvam isto pois vinagre balsâmico é bom mas não resolve...

(Translated by Google) The loggia of the Misericórdia Church in Beja is unique in Portugal and is a fine example of Mannerist architecture, inspired by the famous loggia in St. Mark's Square in Florence. It was initially designed as a municipal butcher's shop (a place where meat is sold), but its beauty and refinement were so great that it was quickly considered too noble to function as a market, and the building was adapted to house the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, and then converted into a church. It was around the middle of the 16th century that Infante D. Luís (son of Dom Manuel I) ordered the construction of a magnificent building in Beja, with the aim of installing the municipal butcher's shops there. However, after construction had already begun on the space, whose design is attributed to the architect Diogo de Torralva, the duke decided to change the purpose of the new space, determining that “the large stone building that I had built for the slaughterhouse in the square, which God seems to have wanted to be as beautiful as it was poorly used for such a lowly function” should be the new church of the local Misericórdia brotherhood. (Original) loggia da igreja da Misericórdia de Beja é única em Portugal e é um óptimo exemplar da arquitectura maneirista, inspirada na famosa loggia da Praça de São Marcos em Florença. Foi inicialmente projectada para açougue municipal (local onde se vende carne), contudo a sua beleza e finura era tanta que rapidamente se considerou ser demasiado nobre para funcionar como mercado, adaptando-se o edifício a sede da Santa Casa da Misericórdia, sendo depois adaptado a igreja. Foi por meados do século XVI, que o Infante D. Luís (filho de Dom Manuel I) ordenou a construção de um faustoso edifício em Beja, no intuito de aí instalar os açougues municipais. No entanto, depois de já iniciada a edificação do espaço, cuja traça se atribui ao arquitecto Diogo de Torralva o duque decidiu alterar o destino do novo espaço, determinando que “o grande edifício de pedra que mandei fazer para o matadouro na praça, o qual Deus parece ter desejado tão belo quanto mal aproveitado era para tão baixa função” deveria ser a nova igreja da irmandade da Misericórdia local.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Mercy, built in the 16th century by order of Prince Louis, is a unique building in Portuguese architecture. Initially planned as a butcher's shop in the city's main square, the magnificent building, inspired by Italian loggias and influenced by the Italian Renaissance, was later donated to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia confraternity. Adapted to function as a church, the building recovered part of its original appearance in the 1940s. (Original) A Igreja da Misericórdia, construída no século XVI por ordem do Infante D. Luís, é um edifício singular na arquitetura portuguesa. Inicialmente planejado como açougues na principal praça da cidade, o magnífico edifício, inspirado nas loggias italianas e influenciado pelo Renascimento italiano, foi posteriormente oferecido à confraria da Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Adaptado para funcionar como igreja, o edifício recuperou parte de sua fisionomia original na década de 40 do século XX.

The year 1938 is mentioned as the date of its reconstruction, with the remains that remained integrated into buildings that have since been demolished.

(Translated by Google) This is one of the oldest churches in Beja. The early Christian cathedral may have been built on the site of this temple today in Late Antiquity, which later gave rise to the city's main mosque in the Islamic era. With the definitive occupation of the city by Christians in the 13th century, the Portuguese monarchs authorised the construction of a new Christian temple to replace the mosque. All that remains of the building from this period is the Gothic structure of the transept, visible from the outside. The galilee was built at the end of the 15th century, the central body in the second half of the 16th century, and the main chapel and side chapels were remodelled at the end of the 18th century. The altar of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, designed by Manuel João da Fonseca, stands out, with a monumental Tree of Jesse. (Original) Trata-se de uma das igrejas mais antigas de Beja. No local onde hoje se encontra este templo poderá ter sido construída a primitiva catedral cristã, na Antiguidade Tardia, que posteriormente deu origem, na época islâmica, à mesquita principal da cidade. Com a ocupação definitiva da cidade pelos cristãos, no século XIII, os monarcas portugueses terão autorizado a construção de um novo templo cristão, que substituísse a mesquita. Do edifício desta época resta a estrutura gótica da cabeceira, visível a partir do exterior. A galilé terá sido construída em finais do século XV, o corpo central na segunda metade do século XVI, e, em finais do século XVIII, foram remodeladas a capela-mor e as capelas laterais. Destaca-se o altar da Capela de N.ª Sra. do Rosário, segundo o projecto de Manuel João da Fonseca, com uma monumental Árvore de Jesse.

(Translated by Google) It is located in a square of old buildings, among which the Casa da Torrinha, the old Town Hall and another Manueline building with a coat of arms stand out. There must have been a Visigothic temple and a Muslim mosque on this site before. The topographical location of a church, the fact that its patron saint was Saint Mary (since mosques were almost always consecrated in the name of the Virgin), a slight misalignment in orientation or an abnormal and unclear profusion of volumes, are sometimes sufficient clues to suggest the existence of an old mosque on that site. (Original) Enquadra-se num largo de edifícios antigos entre os quais se destacam a casa da Torrinha, a antiga Câmara e um outro manuelino de portal brasonado. Terão existido, anteriormente, neste mesmo local um templo visigótico e uma mesquita muçulmana. A localização topográfica de uma igreja, o facto do seu orago ser Santa Maria (uma vez que as mesquitas eram quase sempre sacralizadas em nome da Virgem), um pequeno desalinho na orientação ou uma anormal e pouco clara profusão de volumes, são por vezes indícios suficientes para se poder supor a existência naquele lugar de uma antiga mesquita

They look like sad, poor wretches. The church is beautiful. (Original) Não gostei de ser abordado logo á entrada, por um Sr. a pedir um contributo.
