There's a Moorish castle in Sintra and I'm guessing the design of Monserrate was influenced by the Islamic history of the region. It certainly looks similar to design you might see in Turkey or Alhambra in Spain.

Oh I see!!
Yes the moorish castle was constructed during the Muslim Iberia during the 8th and 9th century.
It looks fascinating. Portugal is in my bucket list for a long time. Hope I will visit the place soon.
