This is a really wonderful area to visit. It is primarily a place to visit so you can get some breathtaking views of the city of Lisbon. There are some good places to stop and eat or drink. There are cafes and lots of restaurants and other shops too. The major attraction is the National Monument to Cristo Rei (Christ the King), which is an enormously tall statue made of concrete. It was copied from the Brazilian Christ the Redeemer! It symbolises Portugal's good fortune not to suffer badly during World War II. Worth a visit.

Fortress of St. Philip An unmissable part of the tourist map, the Fortress of St. Philip was once an important stronghold for the defence and control of the city. Despite the lack of agreement among historians concerning the date its construction began, the fortress is dated to the year 1582, when King Philip II visited Setubal. The Castle of St. Philip, more frequently referred to as a fort or fortress, played a tactical role in strengthening the line of defence of the Portuguese coast that was attacked by pirates from northern Europe and Africa. Some of the most stunning panoramic views of the city and the bay can be seen from the walls of this fort.
