Location
Sintra is a Portuguese Village belonging to Lisbon’s district, located in its northern part. Notable for the presence of its romantic architecture which has led to its classification by UNESCO in 1995, as a cultural landscape and a world heritage.
Mystical Sintra has remained firm in the fight for its permanence in Village category, despite being the second most populous county in Portugal.
Sintra presents specific characteristics within an environmental and cultural context. It remains intact and cared for in an asset of palaces, parks, manor houses and respective woods; houses and chalets inserted in the middle of a forest vegetation.
The magic of religious or spiritual environments has also been maintained by preserving the convents and places for meditation among cliffs, churches, chapels and hermitages, secular centre of faith and art.
Seteais Palace was built in the 18th century from where can be seen the sea and the mountains. It was built at the bottom of Seteais fields. Those fields were used for the cavalry of the guard of their majesties during the visits of the royal family to Sintra, thus justifying the generous lawn that separates the palace from the main entrances.
Quinta da Regaleira is another magical place with a palace surrounded by lush gardens, lakes, caves, and enigmatic constructions that hide some alchemical meanings. It benefits from a micro-climate of Sintra’s mountain range which greatly contributes to the constant fog that thickens its aura of mystery
Pena Palace is one of the best expressions of the 19th century architectural Romanticism in the world. After the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon, the chapel of Our Lady of Pena was destroyed as well as other buildings in the area. In 1840, the recovering process of the entire area of Pena’s Palace began at the behest of D. Fernando II. In 1910, Pena’s Palace was classified as a National Monument and is another important pole of Sintra’s Cultural Landscape.
