Castelo de São Jorge The hill... by shellseeker
Castelo de São JorgeThe hill where the castle of Lisbon is situated offers definitely the most impressive views of the city. To the west you see the Tejo bridge glittering in the sun and the city?s quarters Baixa, the lower part of the old town and Bairro Alto, the higher part. The Castelo itself dates back to the 12th century and was damaged by two earthquakes in the past. Now it is restored and one of the first sights everyone is heading to. The park is very pleasant if you want to lay down in the sun and read a little bit or just relax and breathe in the fresh air.
