Castelo dos Mouros, Sintra

I made post with a big delay… Here are the pictures from my May trip to Sintra, a city by Lisbon (I already wrote a post about my trip there last year). During the trip this year, I visited the other places: Palácio de Pena (next post) and Castelo dos Mouros.

I always had some special attraction to castles, maybe it just comes from my gothic teenage years, I don’t know… ☺

And after living 8 years in Finland, it was difficult not to notice the Finnish flag above the castle. 😀 Well, actually the same flag was the flag of Portugal long time ago.

  1. That picturesque not only gave the occupants of that castle before the advantage to see those people below but a great visual to defend as well. Great one Elena!
