Located in the Alentejo region, on the west coast of Portugal, Sines is a city of fundamental importance to the history of Portugal, as it is the birthplace of one of the most illustrious Portuguese, the navigator Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea route to the Indies. The city, however, dates from much earlier when settlements still in pre-history and later in the Roman period were built on the site. Sines is today one of the most profitable economic points in Portugal, largely due to its port, which is the main distribution link for foreign natural gas that feeds the country. The city also has a great tourist attraction, mainly focused on its old churches and on the Castle of Sines, a fortress located in front of the Bay of Sines, built-in 1424 in at the top of the hill where structures from the period of Roman occupation existed.
