What you'll see
A shady forest footpath that climbs from the old town past the medieval church of Santa Maria, over mossy boulders, to the Moorish Castle's gate: a free alternative to the bus and the traffic.
A brief history
The little Gothic church on the way was founded soon after Sintra was taken from the Moors in the 1100s.
