Why You Should Visit Castle of São Jorge

Located atop the Alfama district, the castle is located on the highest of Lisbon's seven hills. In 1371, King Joao I, who married Philippa, princess of the Lancastrian royal family, dedicated this castle to St. George, the patron saint of England, and it was given the name 'Sao Jorge', which means 'Saint George' in Portuguese.

The inside of the castle was once used as a palace and is now a park. Inside the castle, there is a museum containing relics from the Iron Age, the Moors around the 6th century, to the relics of the royal family from the 18th century, as well as the Tower of Ulysses, which stored the royal family's important documents and treasures, and the Tower of Loyalty, which was used as the general headquarters. The best attraction of the castle is the view of Lisbon from here. It's really great to go up at sunset and enjoy the view. It's the perfect place to see a beautiful sunset.
