Review this castle

 

 
Henry Cadenhead, 49, from Southeastern, USA, wrote:
The ancient castle of the Moors at Sintra is the oldest castle in the town's vicinity.  Little remains of it but the ramparts and exterior walls, and those require a considerable climb to reach.  But the walk along the old walls and the view from there are well worth the effort. Beware:  The gates close at either 6:00 pm or 7:00 pm (depending on the season), and you will not be sought out within the grounds.  The grounds are far to expansive to seek out the few visitors that may be there and there are no records of who went in and came out.  So unless you want to spend the night within the walls of this ancient ruin, leave in time.  If you do want to stay for the night, there doesn't seem to be any charge, and no one will ask any questions.  Take food and water
