Alcácer do Sal, Portugal

<p>Alc&aacute;cer do Sal lies at a point along the Sado River where it empties into the Sado Estuary (and later into the Atlantic Ocean). This makes it a strategic point for agriculture, fishing, and defensive fortifications.</p> <p>Because of this ideal location, there have been inhabitants in and around the area for more than 40,000 years. The Phoenicians and later the Romans used the city (Roman name: Urbs Imperatoria Salacia) for trade and salt production.</p> <p>North African Muslims ruled most of the Iberian Peninsula, including Alc&aacute;cer do Sal, from the 8th century until the early 13th century. Slaves were brought from Sub Saharan Africa to work the salt fields from the 15th through the 19th century.</p> <p><a href="https://destinationeatdrink.medium.com/alc%C3%A1cer-do-sal-portugal-8b8b082d955c"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
