The St. George’s castle is located in one of the highest hills of Lisbon, and the first construction dates back to the 2nd century B.C.
Researches concluded that since the 6th century B.C., many different civilizations settled here, from the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans and Moors.
It was conquered from the Moors by the 1st Portuguese King, D. Afonso Henriques in 1147.
The castle received important conservation and improvement works from 1940 until 1990, and is today considered one of the most emblematic monuments in Lisbon.
