Le Château des Maures est une visite que nous avons beaucoup appréciée, principalement pour les panoramas exceptionnels qu'il offre sur Sintra, la forêt environnante et le Palais de Pena. Rien que pour ces points de vue, la montée vaut largement l'effort (à ne pas sous-estimer, quoi que je pense qu'il y a aussi un bus pour vous déposer). Il ne faut pas s'attendre à visiter un château meublé ou parfaitement conservé : il s'agit avant tout de vestiges et de fortifications médiévales. Cependant, les remparts sont remarquablement mis en valeur et permettent de se promener sur une grande partie du site tout en profitant de vues spectaculaires. Si vous voulez tous les faire : prévoir du temps et de la disponibilité physique. Nous avons également apprécié l'aspect historique du lieu, fondé à l'époque de l'occupation musulmane de la péninsule Ibérique puis restauré au XIXe siècle sous l'impulsion du roi Ferdinand II, dans le cadre de la redécouverte romantique du patrimoine portugais. L'ambiance est très agréable, au cœur de la nature, avec de nombreux sentiers et espaces verts. Une visite complémentaire idéale au Palais de Pena, qui permet de mieux comprendre l'histoire de Sintra tout en profitant de paysages magnifiques.

Le château des Maures sans aucun doute! J'y suis allée à l'ouverture à 9h30. Personne ou presque. Trajet long , abrupt et fatigant depuis Sintra mais récompensé par la vue de la citadelle impressionnante qui serpente et s'accroche dans un chaos de gros rochers , le panorama alentour et , du haut de la tour Royale, la découverte du Palais de la Pena noyé dans la brume. En revanche le Palais de Regaleira m'a déçue: La foule, le bruit...? Une curiosité très XIXe

Les deux châteaux sont absolument magnifiques et plutôt proches l'un de l'autre. Quinta de regaleira vous transportera dans un monde magique et ses jardins sont incroyables. Je recommande tout de même de prendre un transport pour la chateau des maures à moins que vous aimez beaucoup les randonnées.

The ruins provided amazing views around Lisbon and the surrounding areas. They are best enjoyed as part of a whole day out in Sintra, alongside many of the other attractions such as the palace.

I enjoyed this more than the Pena Castle. Awesome views and a lot of history. Bared this with as Quinta for a perfect afternoon.

Step into the Moorish Castle’s storied stone walls and explore Sintra’s hilltop history at your own pace.
