São Jorge Castle, sometimes known in English as Saint George's Castle, is a historic castle in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, located in the freguesia of Santa Maria Maior

Castelo de S. Jorge is a renowned castle located in the capital city of Lisbon, Portugal. It has been an integral part of the city's history since the 8th century BC, and is notable for its long period of occupation by different rulers throughout time. Its construction began during the 11th century following the defeat of Moorish forces in the Siege of Lisbon, beginning as a fortified residence for Afonso III and later transforming into a royal palace under the ruling of King Denis I. Considered to be one of the most significant landmarks in Lisbon, it offers visitors a great glimpse into its fascinating and incredibly well-preserved past. Not only can tourists explore the castle itself, but also appreciate the nearby views of Tagus River from its walls.
