Portugal, Sintra-Castelo dos Mouros, the keep

This structure, considered to be one of the oldest castles in Portugal, dates back to the times of the Moor occupation from the 7th-century AD. The Moorish Castle was conquered by Dom Afonso Henriques (1147), the monarch who also built the Romanesque Chapel of Sao Pedro, of which interesting traces remain, next to the oppidum, where there is also a cistern, an Arab horseshoe arch gate and remains of houses. Surrounded by walls and several towers. It underwent various repairs, particularly in the Romantic period (about 1860), when King Consort Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha restored it.
