During this period, it became the main Roman city on the western coast south of the Tagus River, where there was a forum with its temples, baths, and the only known Roman hippodrome in Portugal. Today, the archaeological site of Mir\u00f3briga remains one of the most important tourist attractions in this region.<\/p><p>It was around the 8th century that the Moors reached the territory, building the castle on the hill in front of the Roman city; it is even thought that the name Kassem (Cac\u00e9m) is connected to the tribe that dominated this region: the 'ben Kassim'.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">The Islamic occupation ended in 1217, when it definitively returned to the possession of the Christians, having been donated by King D. Afonso II to the Order of Santiago da Espada. The medieval borough of Sant\u2019Iago de Kassem was already of great importance in the 13th century, and between 1315 and 1336, by donation of King D. Dinis, the town and the castle belonged to Princess D.\u00aa Vet\u00e1cia Lascaris, Byzantine princess, lady-in-waiting, and friend of Queen Santa Isabel, who resided here and left some unique pieces, such as the bas-relief of \"Santiago fighting the Moors\", a masterpiece of medieval sculpture, and the relic of the Holy Wood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-081db60 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"081db60\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56a06c9 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"56a06c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6fed2a23 cs_scroll_y_80 cs-section-content-fullwidth cs-parallax-on-scroll elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6fed2a23\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" data-cs-parallax-y=\"80\" style=\"background-image: none;\" data-cs-background-image=\"https:\/\/casadesantiago.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/u8bpbnhhug5jnrid7njg.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ec22256\" data-id=\"ec22256\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fca5bf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8fca5bf\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efca5ad elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"efca5ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d333f67 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d333f67\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c8a243 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c8a243\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After her death, it returned to the Order of Santiago and became the seat of the municipality in 1512, the date on which D.
