Castelo dos Mouros, Sintra, Portugal
Sintra is a short distance west of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon and makes for a pleasant half-day or day-trip. The Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of the Moors) is seen here shrouded in mist. The original Moorish fortress was built in the 8th to 9th centuries and surrended to the Christians in 1147.
