Alcácer Ceguer is the Portuguese name for a stronghold in Morocco also known as Al Qsar as-Seghir (Arabic: القصر الصغير) or Alcazarseguer in Spanish. It is located in the Straits of Gibraltar, between Tangier and Ceuta and translates as small city in English.
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.
