Castelo de São Jorge

Following lunch I headed back to the central part of downtown to check out Castelo de São Jorge. I kind of guessed how to get there so it took me a while to figure out which street actually led to the castle but eventually figured it out!

Castelo São Jorge is a Moorish castle - I've seen a lot of castles in my time but I believe this may be my first Moor one. It was built in the mid-11th century on a hilltop and over looks the city. Though it's military use really started when Portugal became part of the Spanish crown in 1850.
