    Park and National Palace of Pena

    Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Portugal, located in the town of Sintra, just outside Lisbon. It's a striking blend of Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish, and Manueline architectural styles, and it’s perched on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. The palace was originally a monastery in the 16th century before being transformed into a royal residence in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II, who added the whimsical touches that make it so unique.
