The church of Santa Maria (Saint Mary), located inside Sesimbra Castle, was built in 1160 to commemorate Christian reconquest of the land. Santa Maria was a name usually given to converted mosques. Today’s simple church (just a single nave) dates to the 18th century. Most noteworthy are the blue and white tiles featuring scenes from Mary’s life. The high altar features a stunning 17th century carving. Make sure you climb to the top of the Castle walls for spectacular views!

I went to this church a few times because it was right near our villa. Hearing its bells toll was wonderful. It's a simple little church, stark on the outside but the interior walls are covered in blue and white tiles depicting the life of the Virgin Mary.

The church on the castle grounds is charming and has some of the famous Portuguese tiles inside. But the main reason to see it is as part of a tour of the castle grounds, which offers great views of Sesimbra. If you visit Sesimbra, the castle is just a few minutes away from downtown.

The church and the castle ruins are very interesting. The inside of the church is beautiful, the ceiling frescoes and the altar are excquisite. The veiews of Sesimbra & the ocean are spectacular.

We found this and the castle by total accident while out a drive. Its worth nipping in for a look but don't travel from far out to visit.

Yes its impressive inside when you first see it but I wouldn't say its the best artistically done building.

This unmissable, well kept church within the Castle grounds is a must see. The 18th century tiled interior is extraordinary as is the beautiful altar. I loved that local men sat upstairs, chatting, while we were there. I suspect they were the caretakers.

A typical beautiful Portuguese church high above Sesimbra that's completely tiled with typical Portuguese tiles. Café nearby is a little bit expensive but good food and plenty the view from the castle is stunning.
It's really worth a visit!!!
