CASTELO DE SAO JORGE

This hilltop castle is traditionally regarded as the site of Lisbons founding settlement. Archaeological finds dated to the 7th century BC support this theory, although the oldest castle remains are from the Moorish era. Portugals first king, Afonso Henriques, captured the Moorish citadel in 1147 and his successors added the Alcovas palace, which remained the royal residence until 1511. Following centuries of neglect, the castle was imaginatively restored in 1938, providing the city with one of its most attractive viewpoints.

This grand gate leads onto the final steep climb up to the castle grounds. In a wall niche to the left is a figure of St George. His local connection may derive from the role played by English troops in the conquest of Moorish Lisbon.

This restaurant, in one of Lisbons most exclusive locations, serves traditional Portuguese and international food. Although the interior is very impressive (it was part of the 13th-century Alcovas palace), try to sit outside if you can the views are superb.

In one of the inner battlement towers, a camera obscura attached to a periscope projects images of the city. The castle has a history of distant gazing: Lisbons first observatory was set up there in 1779.
