Santiago do Cacém, Santa Cruz e São Bartolomeu da Serra stretches across the lower slopes of the Serra de Grândola in southwest Alentejo, a position that has long connected its hilltop centre with surrounding plains and the Atlantic coast. The medieval Castle of Santiago do Cacém presides over the old town and remains its defining landmark. Close to the urban centre, the Roman city of Miróbriga preserves baths, a circus and traces of domestic quarters, recording the area’s settlement under Roman rule. The wider municipality extends toward the Alentejo coast, where cork-oak country and agricultural land shape the regional setting.
