Silves Moorish Castle


I do not want to plagiarize So rather then writing any thing out I will give you a website for the castle.

It was Thursday so we decided to go on a road trip. We selected Silves. There is a large castle built about 1000 years ago. Went we got to Silves we first drove up winding walking paths or as they say in Portugal main arteries. Luckily we found a place to park and hiked the remaining 60 or 70 foot climb. The following are some pictures I took of the castle. It was not a complete as you may thing from pictures of the outside, but certainly forth the money.
