Perched on Sintra’s hills, the Castle of the Moors is a 9th-century fortress offering panoramic views of the Serra de Sintra and the Atlantic Ocean. Built during Islamic rule, it was later captured by Christian forces in 1147 and transformed into a medieval town. The castle was restored in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II, blending ancient fortifications with Romantic aesthetics. Visitors can explore its well-preserved ruins, uncover archaeological stories of past civilizations, and marvel at its dense forest surroundings. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-visit for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
