Alcácer Ceguer
Alcácer Ceguer (also know as El Qsar es Seghir) is a Moroccan stronghold in the Straits of Gibraltar, between Tangier and Ceuta.
It was occupied by the Portuguese during Afonso V's reign in 1458. It was difficult to access the stronghold by sea and it had a relatively minor strategic importance. Because of that and also because of the economic crisis, John III decided to abandon the stronghold in 1550.
