The Castle of the Moors, perched on Sintra’s hills, has stood as a strategic stronghold since the 9th century. Built during Islamic rule, it was later captured by Christian forces in 1147 and gradually transformed into a medieval town.
Over time, the fortification was abandoned, but in the 19th century, King Ferdinand II restored the castle, blending its ancient origins with Romantic aesthetics.
Today, it serves as a historical and cultural landmark, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Sintra’s past. Archaeological excavations continue to reveal the stories of the many civilizations that inhabited the castle over the centuries.
With panoramic views stretching from Sintra to the Atlantic Ocean, this national monument offers a truly unforgettable experience.
