Meeting Point
Full Description
Towering 412 meters above sea level, the 10th century Castle of the Moors is a breathtaking feat of medieval military engineering. This Moorish hilltop citadel is a classified National Monument and part of Sintra's UNESCO-listed Cultural Landscape.
The castle's dizzying ramparts traverse rocky ridges and enormous boulders, surrounded by verdant forest. For magical views, hike up via the partly off-road Rua Marechal Saldanha route through quiet woodlands - a rewarding 2 km trail.
From the ramparts, the vistas over Sintra's palace-dotted hills to the glittering Atlantic are phenomenal. Gaze across the town's hilltop palaces like Pena, down to the old town hall, and beyond to the extensive northern plains.
