Castle Of Sao Jorge, Lisbon View
In the twelfth century, King Afonso Henriques decided to build a castle in the hills of San Jorge, Lisbon, where he had a magnificent view of the city.
Today, tourists can visit the ruins of the castle of St. George (Castelo de Sao Jorge in Portuguese), also known as the Moorish Castle. Besides the castle, inside the walls is Santa Cruz, which can also be visited.
But while the ride along the walls and ramparts of the seat can be a very good experience, the visitor can not remain ignore the sights of Lisbon and the Tagus, which should be seen.
Tickets for the Castle of Sao Jorge costs 5 euros, but that’s just if you want to enter the castle. Otherwise you can climb to the hill to see the city from another angle, and it’s free.
Finding the point of view of Lisbon at your feet, you can take a pictures of the amazing city.
In addition, in the castle there are occasional performances, festivals and exhibitions that give more life to this place.
