Cercal do Alentejo is a Portuguese village belonging to the municipality of Santiago do Cacem, with 136.40 km² of area.

It was the county seat between 1836 and 1855. It was constituted by the parishes of Cercal, Colos and Vila Nova de Milfontes. It had, in 1849, 3 255 inhabitants.

Economy:
In the 19th century, mining was developed, particularly in the 1970s, with the discovery of new ores such as barite, manganese and manganite.
The largest exploration in this area was, however, iron, with five mines of this type of extraction: Cerro da Fonte, Santa de Cima, Toca do Mocho, Serra da Mina, Serra das Tulhas and Serra de Rosalgar. However, these mines ended their activity in 2000.
Cercal do Alentejo presented indispensable reserves of ferrous minerals, useful to various metallurgical and metalworking industries.
Physically, the ore from the Serra das Tulhas mine was similar to the Serra da Mina and Toca do Mocho concessions - it was massive, not very compact and of medium hardness. Sometimes it appeared hard and spongy, but in regions where the manganese content rose a lot, it became a bit earthy.
From a chemical point of view, it can be said that the ore was frankly good. Silica rarely exceeded 5%, and alumina also did not present high levels. As for iron, the content was usually 50% and the manganese had levels ranging from 6 to 13%, which valued the ore very much.
