castle



Castle of São Jorge overlooking Lisbon, the city where I spent the last 5 days. The castle is located atop the highest hill in the historic center of the city, its oldest parts date from the 6th century.Source.

I was trying to decide where to start blogging about Lisbon, Theme Thursday came to my rescue!

  1. Look at all of those multi-family dwellings! Too many people. I was so busy being overwhelmed I almost missed the castle.

  3. It seems so out of place to have all those high rise appartments below a castle. Like pairing Champagne and Kool-Aid.

  16. I've never been to Lisbon but it is reminiscent of the fort atop Salzberg or so many other European medieval towns. Looks imposing. Are you going to post your holiday pics? You know I travel vicariously! Cheers :) Have a good weekend

  18. I know just what you mean about where to start. Same thing happens to me about certain places. It looks like a fun castle. I really need to plan to a trip to Portugal and Spain someday!
