A mysterious wall rises high up in the Sintra hills. It is the Moorish Castle, with more than 1000 years of history waiting to be discovered!

Moors and Christians have passed through here, but also more ancient peoples. How was a wall built on top of the mountains? What role did it play? What traces of the past have come down to us? In teams, participants will be challenged along the way, looking for clues and solving puzzles that tell the story of the place. At the end, your knowledge will be tested and whoever knows the most will be awarded the key to the castle!
