Thank you, that was very interesting. Good effort!
Just a few minor corrections:
"during the Portuguese settlement..." - A "settlement" is a place so the sentence is not clear - you could say "During the period of Portuguese were settling there were wars with the Moors" OR "At the time the Portuguese were building the settlement there were wars with the Moors"
"Christians, Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together" (or harmoniously) The sentence seems to need an adverb to emphasise the significance of the Christians, Jews and Muslims living together. Likewise "has the original Portuguese Ffortification and Portuguese cistern are UNESCO heritage." for emphasis.
Also remember to useful word "which" and watch the capitalisation!
