Dominating the neighborhood of Alfama, the Castelo de São Jorge stands on the highest hill in Lisbon and represents a tangible symbol of the city's history. Its origins date back to the 8th century BC, passing through Celts, Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors, until the Christian reconquest in 1147 by King Afonso Henriques.

The imposing medieval structure offers visitors many experiences: you can walk along the walls and bastions, climb up to 11 panoramic towers, such as the Tower of Ulysses with its camera obscura that projects a real-time 360° view of the city.

Within the complex, there is a veritable museum center that includes: the archaeological core with remains from the Iron Age, the Islamic period, and the medieval royal palace; the "Ogival Room," "Room of Columns," and "Cistern Room" of the ancient royal palace.
