ST. GEORGE'S CASTLE
Address: Rua de Santa Cruz do Castelo, Lisbon, Portugal .The St. George's Castle is located in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, in Lisbon. The first forts are from the 1st century B.C. having been rebuilt several times by different peoples and baptized with different names.
The castle, as well as several military structures in Lisbon, was remodeled several times, to the point that in the first half of the 20th century it was already in an advanced state of ruin. In the middle of 1940, monumental reconstruction works were carried out, with the lifting of a large part of the walls and towering many of the towers. For this reason, the "medieval character" of this military complex is due to this reconstruction campaign, and not to the preservation of the castle's space from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Positioned on the highest hill in the historic center, it offers its visitors one of the most beautiful views of the city and the Tagus river estuary. You are now invited to be part of this historic visit.
