Forte de Cacela Velha, Algarve - Portugal

Cacela Velha Fortress.

Cacela Velha and the surrounding towns were a stopover for Greek and Phoenician navigators, and according to some authors it may have once been near the location of Conistorgis, the still-unrecovered capital of the Conii. Roman and Arab occupiers also played a significant role in the expansion of the region.[1]

Archeological excavations conducted from May 7 to July 4, 2007, determined the village was the Medina of Qast’alla Daraj (Ibn Darradj al-Qastalli), an Islamic town dating back to the 10th century, when much of the Iberian peninsula was controlled by the Moors and Berbers who arrived from North Africa. Archeologists determined the area was an agricultural center, and part of the excavation recovered seven corn pits that were used for storing cereals and grain.

Almost like a watercolor painting, the view of the Ocean from the very small village of Cacela Velha in Portugal is enchanting and beautiful. During some hours is possible to cross to the landline walking, other times a boat is needed to get there.
Modern communication technology has finally arrived in the eastern Algarve! 

There are fortresses scattered around the landscape and this small town has one as well. Apart from providing a grand vista, they take you back to way back when the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Moors,...Worth the climb from the beach! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cacela_Velha
