Castelo de São Jorge stands as a prominent historical landmark perched atop Lisbon's highest hill, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Tagus River. The castle's origins date back to the 11th century when it was constructed by the Moors, but it has since undergone various periods of reconstruction and renovation. Visitors can explore the castle's storied walls, walk through its archaeological site, and learn about Lisbon's history in the on-site museum. The castle also features beautifully maintained gardens, where peacocks roam freely, and a camera obscura that provides a unique perspective of the city. With its rich history and cultural significance, Castelo de São Jorge is not only a testament to Lisbon's past but also a cherished symbol of its resilience and beauty.
