If you haven`t yet visited São Jorge Castle 🏰 in Lisbon, we share 5 interesting facts for you to pay attention to during your visit:
1) This medieval castle is only 80 years old! Its fortifications were rebuilt between 1938 and 1940 from the foundations of the original fortress, as it had been in ruins since the earthquake of 1755.
2) The fortification has 11 towers and 5 gates! 10 turrets attached to the wall and 1 tower in the center of the wall. It also has 3 access doors to its interior and 2 other doors, located inside the fortification.
3) The statue of D. Afonso Henriques is a replica! This bronze statue from 1947 was offered by the city of Porto to Lisbon and is a replica of the original, created by Soares dos Reis in 1887 and which is currently in the city of Guimarães.
4) Inside there is a camera obscura, a system of lenses and mirrors that reproduces a 360º panorama of the city of Lisbon.
5) There are 3 stone lions in the courtyard, which represent the real lions that lived there in the 15th century. They belonged to King Afonso V, the African, brought from an expedition to Africa.
