SÃO JORGE CASTLE: Located on the peak of the São Jorge hill, Lisbon’s highest, São Jorge Castle (Saint George Castle) is one of the most iconic symbols of the city. Human occupation of the castle hill dates to at least the 8th century BC while the first fortifications built date from the 1st century BC. The hillside also houses two of the city’s neighbourhoods called Alfama and Castelo.

ALFAMA: It is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tejo/Tagus river.
