    大航海时代之制高皇城:圣乔治堡(Castelo de Sao Jorge)

    P8046319站在Rossio广场上,就能望见西边山顶的圣乔治城堡。里斯本市区建立在七座小丘上,所以被称为七丘之城(seven hills city)。我决定在夕阳西下时前往这个里斯本市区的制高点。

    从Rossio广场到圣乔治城堡,最适合观景的路线是乘电车蜿蜒穿过Alfama老区。在摩尔人统治时期,阿尔法玛区是贵族聚居之地。1755年大地震后阿尔法玛区夷为平地而成为了贫民窟。如今它狭窄蜿蜒的街道与电车风情、以及夜晚演奏FADO的酒吧,成了世界各地游客追捧的风景,最有里斯本风情的区域。

    圣乔治城堡由西哥特人(Visigoths)于公园5世纪建成,14~15世纪为皇家游乐之地,也就是大航海时代初期(那时葡萄牙的皇族生活相当奢华,在里斯本还没有很强烈的证据,在第二天前去的辛特拉有世界文化遗产作为证据)。皇室迁到山下的皇宫后,这里后改作军营。如今的城堡仅剩城墙和少量的建筑与炮台,已全然没有了皇族生活的遗迹。但那些城堡与石块仍然在诉说着时代沧桑。而站在城堡顶端眺望特茹河与里斯本城区的霸气,依然让人折服。

    在圣乔治堡看到里斯本中心区与特茹河全景的第一眼,非常之震撼。老城区奶油色墙壁、红砖瓦顶的老房子规划有序又不乏错落,远处的4.25大桥与十字基督像尽收眼底,夕阳的光线让整个城市蒙上一层面纱。

    ↓往里斯本的北面看,偶尔可见现代化建筑林立在老城区中。两排房子中的自由大道算是里斯本比较气派的街道了。

    ↓ 从山顶看Rossio罗西乌广场也就是这样一个方形。上次看到类似景象是在澳门的东望洋山头看议事厅前地,但没有里斯本全景这样震撼。虽然这张光线很暗,我很喜欢屋顶的玻璃那一刻反光。

    在里斯本追寻的航海时代足迹,在这里告一段落。当时我站在圣乔治堡上吹着特茹河风,基本心满意足。第二天在辛特拉和罗卡角,还有更辉煌更壮观的景色等着我。

    城墙的确不错,颇有要塞里面城墙的感觉。其实说反了,应该是要塞里面就是比着这种感觉来做的吧。
