Sintra: Moorish Castle
The walls of the Castelo dos Mouros, in Sintra, built by the Arab conquerors in the 8th century, follow the contours of the mountain, in practically incredible contortions.
The old Muslim fortress lost its strategical importance when it was conquered by king Afonso Henriques, together with Lisbon, in 1147, but from its towers and sentry paths there's an unique panorama to be enjoyed.
