Zamek Maurów

The Moorish Castle is a medieval fortification in Sintra, built by the Moors in the 8th to 9th centuries as a strategic military point.

Its irregular structure with double walls winding down a granite hill offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

As you tour the castle, you'll see the Royal Tower, the Traitors' Gate, an underground cistern, and archaeological sites from the Islamic quarter and Christian cemetery. As part of the UNESCO-listed Sintra Cultural Landscape, it is a must-see on any trip to Portugal.
