Castle of São Jorge: imposing address of History

Completely dominating the landscape of one of the hills of Lisbon, the Castle of São Jorge is one of the most iconic, important and ancient monuments in the city. The construction of its walls dates back to the 11^th century, the oldest reference being in a document from the 12^th century.

After the first king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques overcame the Moorish fence and conquered the city in 1147 the Castle of São Jorge experienced its heyday, as a space reserved for the royal court. However, from the 16^th century onwards, the Crown moved to Terreiro do Paço (also known as Praça do Comércio) and the Castle began to serve a military function.

Over time, it gradually deteriorated. However, in 1940 it underwent a profound intervention of requalification and returned to gain the stature that we know today. So, strolling there is an experience that you cannot go without!

A visit to the Castle

With a medieval aesthetic, the Castle of São Jorge presents its visitors with an authentic journey through time. At the entrance, you will find a bronze statue of D. Afonso Henriques, immortalized in history as “The Conqueror”. Between walls and towers, you will also have the opportunity to explore an obscure chamber that will allow you to observe, in real-time and in 360º, the city of Lisbon.

Finally, you must stroll through the gardens of the Castle, in the shade of the main indigenous species of the Portuguese forest, such as the cork oak, stone pine or fruit trees. The elevated position of this grandiose monument offers the best view of the city, according to the opinion of many ‘Lisboners’. Come and contemplate the unique beauty of this place full of history.

A walk through Lisbon’s tradition

The pages of the country’s history books are starred by some special figures, whose life and work mark the identity of an entire people. Well, very close to the Castelo S. Jorge apartments, you will find the last address of some of the most illustrious Portuguese people of all times. We speak, of course, about the National Pantheon.

This Italian-inspired Baroque monument, whose construction began in the 16^th century, houses the graves of central personalities in the History of Portugal. We refer, for example, to names like Luís de Camões, one of the greatest national poets; Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea route to India; or Amália Rodrigues, the greatest fado singer of all time.

Right next door, in Santa Clara, you will find the most famous of the metropolis’ street markets: Feira da Ladra. Held on Saturdays and Tuesdays, this is the ideal place to find second-hand antiques and objects. But the range of essential places to visit does not stop there.

Take time to explore the multicultural richness of Praça Martim Moniz, where you can find shops, restaurants, cafes and kiosks with inspiration from countries in the four corners of the planet. Then, you can take advantage of the proximity of Downtown Pombalina and Chiado to take some pictures or shop in its iconic streets.
