Lisbon · fortressTower of St. George's Castle Church
Planning Lisbon? Tower of St. George's Castle Church is worth a look — a fortress. The Igreja de Santa Cruz do Castelo de São Jorge, also known as Tower of St. George's Castle Church, is one of the most important places in Lisbon, Portugal. The temple had closed doors for over thirty years and hid many secrets, such as the statue of St. George, which is carried on a white horse in the oldest procession in Lisbon, since 1570. Since June 2018, with the opening to the public of the Church Tower as a viewpoint, you can now climb to the top and soak up amazing views over Lisbon and the Tagus River. Listen out for the echo of the 18th-century bells, which still ring today. visitor rating 3.4/5 (61 reviews).
