São Jorge Castle

São Jorge Castle is one of the oldest buildings in Lisbon and a major historic monument and tourist attraction in the city. Built on a high point in the Alfama district, the castle was a fortress during the medieval Moorish occupation of Lisbon. Because it stands on a commanding hillside, its silhouette can be seen from almost every corner of Lisbon. The castle originally belonged to the earlier Visigoths, and after the Moorish invasion, it was extensively expanded, with the city walls appearing extraordinarily imposing. Here, people can better appreciate the city's architectural art, whether it is the futuristic castle and suspension bridge from Alfama to the distant urban area, or the open-air ruins of the Carmo Convent in the city, all can be taken in at a glance.  National monument The site consists of the castle, the ruins of the Alcázar, the Plaza de Armas, a large viewing platform overlooking the entire city, a museum exhibition area, an archaeological exhibition area, several garden areas, and the city walls. The monument covers an area of approximately 4 hectares and is surrounded by a ring of massive walls and ramparts, with one section of the ramparts partially overlapping the boundary of Lisbon's old castle. Space and view In the past, whether inside or outside the city walls, there were no trees; even if there were, the quantity was far less than there is now. In the era when the castle was still merely a fortress waiting to be conquered, it was entirely inadvisable to provide the enemy with any tools that they could use to climb, or even set fire, thereby facilitating their siege. The castle garden was built in the 1950s and is one of the earliest landscape architecture works in Portugal. Its designer, architect Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles, conceived the garden precisely when the castle had completely ceased to serve a military purpose, on the one hand to complement this historic monument, and on the other hand to provide visitors with a leisure area offering a very high level of environmental comfort.
