Lisbon
São Jorge Castle

A city print representing the historic “São Jorge” Castle, located in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. Human occupation of the castle hill dates to at least the 8th century BC, while the first fortifications built date from the 1st century BC. The hill on which São Jorge Castle stands has played an important part in the city’s history, having served as the location of fortifications occupied successively by Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Moors, before its conquest by the Portuguese in the 1147 Siege of Lisbon. A definite must-visit in the city!
