The Castelo Velho de Alcoutim, also known as Castro de Santa Bárbara, is a structure of Islamic military architecture in the Algarve, built during the period of the Emirate of Córdoba. The castle, abandoned in the 11th century, lost its military purpose after the Christian Reconquest. It is currently the subject of archaeological research, focusing on Islamic settlement and economic activities, such as mining. It was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1997.
