泊: 4/6 Lisbon -- Castelo S. Jorge

結束了Coração de Jesus的行程，下一站Castelo S. Jorge
從Martim Moniz廣場到Castelo S. Jorge可以選兩種不同方式
一種是沿著電車軌道走大圈的路，一種是看到廣場旁邊樓梯指示直接爬樓梯

如果今天你在這裡生活已經可以到熟門熟路的階段
那走大圈的比較不傷膝蓋，雖然要走比較久.....吧.....
如果今天只是遊客到此一遊，那還是按照指示牌爬樓梯上去
不過我必須先說，指示牌只有在這樓梯一開始有
之後遇到分岔路的時候完全就是憑感覺，因為我都沒看到其他指示牌了

爬上樓梯的頂部，你會面臨向左走還是向右走
沒有指示牌的情況下，我選擇向左，走了好遠還是沒看到城堡入口
雖然城堡好像就在上頭，但是不得其門而入的感覺還真糟
看來選左選錯了只好往回走，所以事實證明，向右走才對
向右走其實也還需要走一段路，但是中間會遇到一家小小的bar很多人在此聚集
這時我發現一個小小的平台，趕快進去拍照
(今天又偷懶沒帶長鏡頭，sigh~)

十點鐘方向那棟應該是Sé de Lisboa

Cristo-Rei (耶穌像) & Ponte 25 de Abril (4月25日大橋)

過了這個小平台，再往前走一些就能找到城堡的入口囉

那天買票的時候他說EYC不打折只有學生才有打折
我沒去辦國際學生證所以掏出NTU的學生證，這樣就有打折了耶！
不過買完出來才發現其實按照規定學生<25才有折扣.......懺悔一下.......

城堡入口拍一張

說到這我真的是個阿呆，買票的時候匆匆抽了一本簡介
結果入園檢查票的時候那位小姐用很狐疑的眼光看著我說：你會說法文嗎？
我說：不會啊。
然後他就指著我的手冊說那我拿英文的給你
so sweet.....檢查票同時還要檢查有沒有跟我一樣呆拿錯簡介的旅客 Orz

入園後開始失心瘋亂拍

九點鐘方向有個廣場，就是著名的Praça do Comércio

Palace Tower
Thus named because of its proximity to the former Royal Palace, to which it was probably connected.
In the 15th century, during the reign of King Afonso V, the African, it adjoined a wing of the palace
known as the "house of the lions" where two lions were kept. In the mid-16th century it also held the
Royal Archives.

Tower of the Keep
This was the most important and robust tower of the castle, built to withstand heavy attack and
therefore used as a privileged command post. The royal standard flag was hoisted here as a
symbol of the vassalage of the alcaide (Moorish mayor) or governor to whom the king had
entrusted the castle to hold and defend. The first geodesic observatory in Lisbon was set up in
this tower in the 18th century.

Tower of Ulysses

Because it contained the royal treasure (income from taxes and royal rents) it was also called the
Torre do Haver or Tower of Riches. As of King Fernando's reign (1367-1383) it housed the
Royal Archives and supposedly the most important documents of the kingdom would "tumble" or
"Tumbling" tower, the name for Portugal's main archive even today. Up until the earthquake of
1755, the Royal Archives were held in this tower, the Torre do Palácio and other buildings adjoining
the castle that belonged to the Royal Palace. In the 18th century, it adopted its current name, the
Torre de Ulisses.
