Castelo de São Jorge
Castelo de São Jorge is a castle in Lisbon, Portugal. During its long history, it has served as a royal palace, a military barracks, national archive, and currently functions as a museum.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In May 1519, members of the local chapter of the Assassins visited Castelo de São Jorge as part of their search for the clues to the havens Leonardo da Vinci hid in the city.[2] In the fort, an Assassin following a group of actors disguised themselves as an extra for a few days and joined their troupe without raising suspicions, with the aim of getting closer to the theatre director, Gil Vicente, one of the main playwrights of Portugal, assuming he would have a lead into Vasco da Gama's location.[3] Vicente was forthcoming with information, saying that da Gama had been an avid theatre goer, but had stopped attending plays some time ago. He also mentioned that after being quite impressed with one of his plays, the old explorer had given Vicente a piece of a map with the trajectory of his fabled trip to Calcutta in thanks, which he handed to the Assassin.[4]
