Légende
The keep of the Castelo dos Mouros, Sintra, Portugal, 2009. 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. The Moorish castle was conquered by Dom Afonso Henriques in 1147; the monarch who also built the Romanesque Chapel of Sao Pedro. It underwent various repairs, particularly in the Romantic period (about 1860), when King Consort Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha restored it.
