The fortress of Castelo de São Jorge rises above the city of Lisbon. Of Moorish origin, it was conquered by the Portuguese king Alfonso I during the Reconquista.

The fortress consists of several fortified towers, a long wall and a moat. In the middle, there are two large courts, which are used by the locals to play boules. From the castle walls, there is a wonderful view over the historic old city of Lisbon and the Tagus River. Also of interest are the excavation sites where the remains of the Moors, Romans and Phoenicians have been discovered.
