Built in the 1st century, the Castellum of Alcabideque, classified as a National Monument, is an impressive Roman structure designed to capture and raise water from the local spring to the aqueduct that led to Conímbriga, three kilometers away.
The name "Alcabideque" preserves this memory: an Arabicized echo of the Latin, caput aquae, "mother of water," a direct reference to the spring that fed the entire system.
