Perched on a hilltop in Lisbon’s historic center, this medieval Moorish fortress dates back to the mid-11th century, offering panoramic city views and a deep dive into Portugal’s past. Its ramparts, winding walls, and secluded courtyards invite exploration, while the archaeological site reveals remnants of ancient civilizations. A small museum showcases objects uncovered on-site, adding context to the castle’s layered history. Stroll along the castle terraces, capture sweeping photos of the Tagus River, and pause at the cafés for a taste of local pastries. Arriving early helps avoid crowds, and be prepared for steep cobblestone paths. Comfortable shoes are a must. From its vantage points, watch the city’s iconic yellow trams and vibrant rooftops sparkle under the sun.
