Overview
Crowning Lisbon's highest hill, this Moorish-era citadel was built by the Moors in the 11th century, conquered by King Afonso I in 1147, and later served as a royal residence. Eleven towers and massive ramparts overlook Alfama and the Tagus, and walking the walls rewards you with a 360-degree panorama of the city, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the Cristo Rei statue across the river. Inside, look for the Camera Obscura (a mirror device that scans Lisbon in 360 degrees), a small archaeological museum, and peacocks strutting freely through the gardens. Admission about EUR 15. 10-minute uphill walk from Tram 28 Miradouro Santa Luzia stop.
