| Moorish Castle Conquered in 1147 by Afonso Henriques for the Christians, the Castle was a major victory in the reconquest of Portugal. Today the Castle is in ruins, although it was restored in mid- nineteenth century, and offers spectacular views to its visitors from Ponte 25 de Abril to Arrabida, Cascais to Cabo da Rocha, Peniche and the Berlenga islands. Moorish Castle: perfectly fits into the natural landscape From Calçada dos Clérigos, for those with the energy, a stone pathway will lead to ruins of the Moorish Castle. Alternatively, a special bus to the castle will take you there through steep roads with sharp turns.
