The Great Wall of Portugal - Sintra Moorish Castle

The Moors from North Africa had a significant influence on the culture of the Iberian Peninsula. For centuries since the beginning of the 8th century AD, the Moors landed on the island of Iberia from North Africa through the Strait of Gibraltar, in addition to creating a wrestling between Islam and Christianity over land and religion. Moors, however, do not refer to monoracials, historically referring to the Islamic conquerors of the Iberian Peninsula, mainly composed of Ethiopians, Saharas, Arabs, and Berbers. It was not until the 12th century, after the Portuguese army recaptured Lisbon, that the defenders of the Moorish castle surrendered to the Christian army. In 1910, the Moorish castle was listed as a national monument of Portugal. If you don't buy a ticket, you can take pictures outside and feel it (don't waste money on admission if you don't exercise, just check in!), and if you buy a ticket, you can of course walk to the top. Because the monuments are preserved in their original flavor, and the soldiers used to be strong.........so the walk up was quite exciting! The whole visit route is a bit like walking the Great Wall, sneakers, please. There is a well-preserved wall inside, and you can walk up from the walkway on the wall to the highest point of the castle. While walking on the city walls, you can see the plains at the foot of Mount Sintra with excellent visibility.
