Castelo de Sao Jorge Lisbon photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Castelo de Sao Jorge was served as a Moorish royal residence until Portugal's first king Afonso Henriques
captured it in 1147 with the help of northern European crusaders on their way to the Holy
Land.
Part of the complex was converted into a royal palace in about 1300 and the kings of
Portugal resided here until 1511.
