Saint George Castle Facts photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow

After its capture by Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques, in 1147 it was renovated and extended several times. What remains of the Alcaçovas Palace where medieval kings lived, is a stone building now housing a restaurant, and round the back, an excellent multimedia exhibit on Lisbon's history called Olissiponia.
