Photographer’s Note
Moorish Castle is the main attraction in Sintra
Constructed by the Moors in the 8th or 9th Century A.D., this castle is situated on two peaks of the Serra de Sintra, and from its walls there are magnificent views.
Surrounded by walls and several towers. It underwent various repairs, particularly in the Romantic period (about 1860), when King Consort Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha restored it, afforested the surrounding areas and gave the ancient ruins new dignity.

tecnicamente perfetta, ottima dal punto di vista dei dettagli.
Interessante anche la nota, un giorno se potrò visitare il portogallo la vorrei vedere dal vivo.
