Castle of São Jorge, located on the highest hill in Lisbon🇵🇹💫

📍Lisbon, Castle of São Jorge The Castle of São Jorge was destroyed by the Great Lisbon Earthquake and was rebuilt about 200 years later! It is located on the highest hill in Lisbon and was used as a fortress for a very long time. The ancient Romans built stones here in the 5th century, and the Moors, who were Muslims, built a castle in the 9th century. When the first king of Portugal, Afonso Ellique, occupied this place, Lisbon became the official capital of Portugal! The history of a country that you learn about while traveling is always interesting! #Overseas travel #Portugal #Lisbon
