This castle, located on the highest hill in the Alfama neighborhood, still has eleven towers and presents some characteristic architectural elements of military fortifications from the Arab period. The stairs attached to the walls give access to the battlements and towers, making it possible to visit their entire perimeter.

In front of the cheese, long lines are always forming quickly. Best start early.
