From its ramparts, visitors behold panoramic views of the city, the Tagus River, and beyond.

Year Built: 10th and 11th centuries

Highlights: Perched atop a hill, Castelo de São Jorge forms an integral part of a fortified network, evolving across epochs. Although archaeological findings unveil tangible remnants, scant information exists regarding the Iron Age settlement and its Roman-era counterpart.
