It was strategically important to the Celts, Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors.<\/li>\n<li><b>First mention:<\/b> The earliest references to the castle date back to the 11th century, when Arab geographers described it as a fortress protecting a &#8216;quasabah.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li><b>Conquest by Afonso Henriques (1147):<\/b> Portugal&#8217;s first king, Afonso Henriques, aided by crusaders, captured the castle from the Moors during the Siege of Lisbon in 1147.<\/li>\n<li><b>Royal Residence (1255):<\/b> After Lisbon was declared the capital in 1255, the castle became the royal palace. In the 14th century, King Jo\u00e3o I dedicated it to Saint George, patron saint of England, in honor of the Anglo-Portuguese alliance of 1371.<\/li>\n<li><b>Decline: <\/b>The castle&#8217;s significance waned after King Manuel I built Ribeira Palace in the 16th century. Further damage from two major earthquakes left it in disrepair.<\/li>\n<li><b>Restoration (1940s):<\/b> A large-scale restoration project in the 1940s rebuilt the castle\u2019s ramparts, restored the watchtowers, and landscaped the courtyards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/fa4e3cb94af300e90da9cb908234a367-Sao%20Jorge.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-sizes=\"auto\" alt=\"quinta de regaleira\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/fa4e3cb94af300e90da9cb908234a367-Sao%20Jorge.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"177477554\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" sizes=\"888px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<h2>Sao Jorge Castle architecture<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Design &amp; layout:<\/b> The castle is roughly square-shaped, originally encircled by walls forming a citadel.
