Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: The castle perches 110 meters above the city, offering panoramic views of the Tagus River and Lisbon. Archaeological digs reveal artifacts dating back to Roman and Moorish periods beneath its walls.
Punti salienti: Visitors can walk along the battlements where 15th-century cannons still aim over the city. The castle's gardens bloom with fragrant jasmine and orange trees, creating a serene oasis amidst ancient stone.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes as cobblestone paths can be uneven and steep.
- Head to the northwest tower for the best panoramic photo spot at sunset.
- Skip the crowded main courtyard initially and explore the quieter inner gardens first.
- Visit early or late in the day to avoid large tour groups.
