The Castro of Zambujal (Portuguese: Castro do Zambujal) is a Chalcolithic age archeological site in the municipality of Torres Vedras in the western litoral area of the Centro Region, Portugal. The Zambujal Castro is one of the most important Copper Age settlements in the peninsula of Lisbon, and whose culture lasted until the beginning of the agrarian periods of Iberian history. Apart from being the most northerly discovered Copper Age site in Portugal, it went through two main building phases: an import-oriented phase and the second associated with the Beaker culture.
Most of the artefacts discovered at the site are stored and displayed in the Leonel Trindade Municipal Museum, Torres Vedras.[1]
