Lisbon's historic and majestic Castle of St. George offers visitors breathtaking views from its walls, as well as plenty of photo opportunities on the ramparts. The castle holds a significant place in Portuguese history - it was the royal residence before being destroyed in the 1755 Earthquake, has been associated with the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373, and welcomed Vasco da Gama upon his epic return from India in 1499. Visitors can explore the archaeological museum and restaurant, snap photos of the stunning panorama over old Alfama, and catch glimpses of the castle’s peacocks showing off their colorful plumage. Don't forget to make your way to the picturesque Recolhimento viewpoint for an even more impressive view of Lisbon!
