The Castle of the Moors, designated as a National Monument in 1910, constitutes an integral component of the Sintra Cultural Landscape, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Standing at an elevation of 412 meters above sea level, the structure commands a commanding view over the surrounding forest.
This architectural marvel, dating back to the 10th century, boasts dizzying ramparts stretching across the mountain ridges and beyond moss-covered boulders the size of small buses. Among the most popular routes for exploration from nearby Sintra-Vila, one particularly noteworthy option involves taking a quicker, partly off-road path through Rua Marechal Saldanha. This challenging yet rewarding hike, covering approximately 2 kilometers, offers stunning vistas of Sintra's palace-dotted hillsides, the gleaming Atlantic Ocean, and the picturesque town of Sintra alongside its town hall and the Palace of Pena.
