  Quinta da Regaleira

  The palace is located on the hillside and a short distance from the historic center of Sintra, being classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Quinta da Regaleira was built between 1904 and 1910, in the last period of the monarchy. With 4 hectares, the palace is surrounded by lush gardens, lakes, caves and enigmatic buildings, which conceal alchemical meanings, such as those evoked by Freemasonry, Templars and Rosicrucian. It models the space in mixed strokes that evoke the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architecture.

  Boca do Inferno

  Boca do Inferno is a cliff near Cascais, named after Boca do Inferno due to the incessant crashing of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs carving a small cave, which later collapsed into a small bay and a natural arch. With unique features, it is a place of recreation, where you can enjoy a divine landscape and magnificent sunsets, being only overshadowed by the often suicides committed in its dangerous and unprotected cliff.
