Photographer's Note
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.

I think I would have been inclined to call this Bleeding rocks as the colour of the vines growing on the rocks is so vivid and red. I would like to have seen more detail in the sky, and the bottom quarter with the seat corner doesn't seem to add anything so could be usefully cropped off
