Castro Marim Faro Districts Portugal

The first settlements in this area date back to approximately 5000 BC, possibly situated on the hill where the castle now stands. During this time Castro Marim was closer to the sea and most likely an island. For thousands of years it was a port for the ships sailing up the Guadiana River to the metal mines to the north. The period of stagnation due to the cut off from the sea and its economic basis, fishing, salt production and boat building only ended recently by the new dynamics of the last decades.
