✎ The Sao Jorge Castle is truly what you imagine a castle to be, and more.
There is close to 3000 years of history in this place. The hill was first used by indigenous Celtic tribes, then by Phoenicians, followed by Greeks and later the Carthaginians as a defensive outpost that was later expropriated successively by the Romans, the Suebi, the Visigoths, and the Moors. During the 10th century, the fortifications were rebuilt by Muslim Berber (Amazigh) forces; these included the walls or Cerca Moura (“Moorish Encirclement”). A lot has been lost due to the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 but most of the castle has been restored and even houses some beautiful gardens. These days the castle is a museum for tourists and locals can come in for free to enjoy the incredible view and I have to say the skyline view from the castle has to be the best in all of Lisbon.
