Castle of the Moors - Sintra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Castle of the Moors (Portuguese: Castelo dos Mouros) is located in the town of Sintra, Portugal. The castle is located on a high hill overlooking the town, being one of its most important tourist attractions. It is part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
As implied by its name, the castle is of Moorish origin, but the current building is the result of a romantic renovation carried out in the 19th century. The views from its walls and towers are breathtaking. The town of Sintra with its royal palace, as well as the Pena National Palace are all visible from the Castle of the Moors.

Hello Jose,
From the perspective shown, the castle looks difficult to invade. I like the diagonal composition featuring the ruggedness from the rocks, the intricate wall, and the gorgeous blue sky. My best regards, Danilo

Hi Jose.
Beautiful architecture, captured in great clarity and very nice colors. Love that clear blue sky. Very nice shot.
Regards,
Ramdan.
