CASTELO DOS MOUROS
Go there and contact
Castle with an infinite panorama in Sintra, offering a thousand delightful walks in a pedestrian route.
It's hard to find another example in Europe of a thousand-year-old fortress built almost on the side of a mountain, offering such an exceptional panorama. Of Muslim origin, it was conquered by Portugal's first king in 1147. Beyond the ramparts, the Palacio de Pena can be seen on the horizon. You can reach the castle and then the Palais de Pena by following a footpath from the center of Sintra to the Palais. The route passes through Villa Sassetti and a Lombard-style belvedere castle (late 19th century), nestled in a sumptuous garden.

Mais le château le vaut bien !
On monte et descend les marches restantes des ruines du château : on se croit même parfois sur la muraille de Chine !

En été, je vous recommande de le visiter le matin : il y a un peu moins de monde et il fait moins chaud !
Une vue à couper le souffle et possibilité de voir le palais de Pena depuis les murailles !
