Perched atop one of Lisbon's tallest hills, Castelo de São Jorge offers sweeping views of the city and Tagus River. Originally built by the Moors in the 11th century, it played a crucial role in Portugal’s defense through the centuries, evident in its sturdy ramparts and watchtowers. Visitors can climb the fortified walls, explore the tranquil gardens, and discover hidden passageways. A small museum highlights archaeological finds that reveal Lisbon’s layered history. Plan to arrive early or late to avoid crowds, and wear comfortable shoes for the steep, cobbled approach. The stunning lookout points make this site a must-visit for photographers.
