1Park and National Palace of Pena
The Palacio Nacional da Pena is one of the finest tourist attractions in Portugal and exemplifies the 19th century Romanticism style of architecture. The palace is a hedonistic mix of vividly painted terraces, decorative battlements and mythological statues, all of which stand at stark contrast to the lush greens of the Parque de Pena forest. The interior of the Pena Palace is equally as fascinating, being restored to reflect the decor in 1910, when the Portuguese nobility fled to Brazil to escape the revolution. Surrounding the Pena Palace are forested grounds, which continue the design ideals of Romanticism, with hidden pathways, mystical ornaments and stunning vistas. In Sintra the roman and muslim remains are very present and their influence in culture is present in more than buildings. Sintra has an important landscape value, not only for its leafy mountain forest near the sea yet also for the unique species is holds and the wonderful palaces and castles disposed here.Visit the Moorish Castle, to the most famous Pena Palace.
