Alcacer do Sal is in the district of Setubal, Alentejo region and sub-region of Alentejo Litoral, and has about 6,700 inhabitants.
The area offers heritage (Alcacer do Sal Castle, Senhor dos Martires Archaeological Centre, Pedro Nunes Rice Museum and the Municipal Archaeology Museum).
There is a good transport network providing easy access to the motorway (A2), national roads (IC1, N5, N120, N253 and N282), ports (Port of Setubal), railways (Sado and Alentejo lines) and Lisbon airport.
It is the seat of the second-largest Portuguese municipality, covering an area of 1,499.87 sq km but with only 13,046 inhabitants (2011), subdivided into 4 parishes. The municipality is bordered to the north by the municipalities of Palmela, Vendas Novas and Montemor-o-Novo, to the east by Viana do Alentejo and Alvito, to the southeast by Ferreira do Alentejo, to the south and west by Grandola and to the northwest across the Sado estuary, by Setubal.
Alcacer do Sal is one of Europe's oldest cities, founded by the Phoenicians before 1,000 BC. Along with its neighbours and also Phoenician Lisbon and Setubal, it supplied salt, salted fish, horses for export and food for the boats that traded tin from Cornwall.
Later, with the Visigoth invasion, it again took on importance as an episcopal see. After being captured by the Arabs, it took the name of Qasr Abu Danis, where one of the strongest fortresses of the Iberian Peninsula was built. The Vikings tried to take it but failed.
During Arab times it was the capital of Al-Kassr province. King Afonso Henriques conquered it in 1158. Later retaken by the Moors, it was only during the reign of King Alfonso II, and with the help of a fleet of Crusaders that the town was conquered once and for all and it became the headquarters of the Order of Santiago.
The town was elevated to city status on 12 July 1997. It produces more pine nuts than any other municipality.
