Castle with an infinite panorama in Sintra, offering a thousand delightful walks in a pedestrian route.

It's hard to think of another example in Europe of a medieval fortress built almost on a mountainside, with such a panoramic view. Inside the ramparts, nature has invaded the ruins, which nonetheless offer pleasant walks. Beyond the ramparts, the Palacio da Pena looms large.

Note that on leaving the ruins, you can walk through the Quinta da Amizade (recently acquired by the Parques de Sintra), including the Vila Sassetti (a late 19th-century Lombard-style belvedere castle) and up to the Palace.

Le château des maures est un incontournable du site de Sintra, on grimpe les ruines jusqu'au point culminant, essoufflé on découvre un panorama époustouflant;
On peut même scruter les belle quintes et les autres palais de ce point de vue.

Countless ruins, but these remains are impressive when you think when everything was built. Allow an hour and a half to tour and enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding area. locate the following stage… still half an hour opour to reach the castle.

Une marche un peu sportive pour arriver tout en haut de ces remparts mais la vue vaut bien cet effort!
