Interesting,well-run, quiet and spectacular 360-degree views of the city. Not to mention the beauty and pleasant cackling of the peacocks and the excellent Restaurant. A place in the city definitely worth seeing, stopping at the Belvedere overlooking the mouth of the Tagus: a marvel. Blessed are you!

Acredito que a experiência possa ser melhorada e mais detalhes historicos fossem copartilhados. Po exemplo: tinha um poço de água, tinha um banheira, do lado de fora do catelo, sem legenda alguma. As torres também não estavam identificadas. o Passeio poderia ser mais didatico e divertido.
