Jest to niesamowity średniowieczny zamek na szczycie góry w Sintrze w Portugalii, z którego roztacza się widok na bajkowy Pałac Pena i całe południowe wybrzeże kraju. Niesamowitego nie da się nawet opisać!Wyświetl oryginalną recenzję: język angielskiFabia

Piękne miejsce, nie staliśmy w kolejce. Spacerowaliśmy w górę i w dół. Widok z zamku jest niesamowity. Możesz spacerować w wolnym czasie, bez rozkładów jazdy.Wyświetl oryginalną recenzję: język hiszpańskiVeronique

Le déplacement sur le site malgré l'audioguide n'est pas évident . Deux endroits magnifiques mais très loin l'un de l'autre . Des suggestions de transport entre les deux pourraient être les bienvenues. Je vais le suggèrer à d'autres c'est certain.Emmeline

Très joli château bien conservé, le billet en avance permet d'éviter la petite file d'attente à l'entrée (très petite néanmoins) Les murs du château sont très bien conservés et on peut monter tout en haut des différentes murailles. Il offre des vues spectaculaires Sintra et les autres palais. Point négatif : Par contre il n'y a aucun "audioguide" ? On avait pris ce billet notamment pour ça, on a demandé au contrôleur de billet et il nous a dit qu'il n'y avait pas d'audioguide ici !! Il n'y a pas assez d'informations sur le château lors de sa visite sur place.Yulia

It is an impressive wall, but it requires an physical effort to see all of it. It reminds me the wall from the Game of the thrones. Nice forest as well
In the days of yore when large swathes of Portugal were occupied by the Moors, a fortress was built to serve the purpose of a watchtower and an observation post. Over time, its allegiance changed from the Moors to the Vikings to the Moors before finally perishing at the hands of Christian rule. As Sintra's strategic importance dwindled, the castle was eventually abandoned. However, the mid-19th century saw a restoration project influenced by the Romantic tastes of the era and undertaken by Ferdinand II. Go further in-depth into the castle's history with an informative audio guide in English.
The views from the walls of the castle are truly spectacular. To the south, you can see beyond the river Tejo to Arrabida, and to the west, Cabo da Roca, and to the north, Peniche. From up here, you can also admire the Pena Palace and the hills of Sintra, covered in green and dotted with beautiful homesteads and romantic chalets. Archeological excavations continue to this day, and so far it has led to the discovery of a Christian graveyard and many artifacts that are now on display in the castle. Today, the remarkable Morish Castle is a National Monument, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and open to visitors from all walks of life.
