It is quite impossible to talk about the history of Lisbon and Portugal without mentioning the <strong><i>S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/i><\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>It were the Muslims that started building the fortification, which was the last major defence stronghold for the elites of the time. In 1147, with the conquest of Lisbon by the first King of Portugal, its golden age began and the castle had to be extended to host all the members of the Court. During the twelth century, it was turned into a Royal Palace by the Portuguese kings, where many importants figures were invited and parties were organized. <\/p>\n<p>From 1580, the Iberian Union started, which was the dynastic union of the Kingdom of Portugal and the Spanish Crown, and the castle gained more of a military function. <\/p>\n<p>Between 1938 and 1940, the <strong><i>S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/i><\/strong> went through refurbishment works, and remains of ancient times and of the ancient Royal palace were found, which allowed the castle to gain back its importance. The new findings led to the opening of the monument to the public. <\/p>\n<p>Since it was built on the highest hill of Lisbon, the <strong><i>S\u00e3o Jorge Castle<\/i><\/strong> can be spotted from many different parts of the city!
