If this were a contest, I'd guess it would be the Mooris Castle in Sintra, near Lisbon.

I happen to have the book in my home (out from the library), and looking at the last page, I can confirm that Gary is correct!

" Front Cover Image: The ramparts of Castelo dos Mouros (Moorish Castle), Captured by the Christians in 1147, Sintra, Portugal copyright Marco Simoni/GettyImages"

I was in Sintra for a day from Lisbon in 2002, and had a great time, but since it was raining, I didn't get to the Castelo dos Mouros - next time!
