Sightseeing
Convent of the Capuchos
Sintra, it is one of those places full of magic and mystery where nature and man combined into such a perfect symbiosis that UNESCO classified it as a World Heritage site.
In the main square we see the Palace of the Village with its two conical chimneys. Dating back to the late 14th century, it was the summer resort of many kings throughout the history of Portugal.
The Palace of Quinta da Regaleira constitutes one of the most surprising monuments of Sintra. Situated at the end of the historic center of the Village, it was built between 1904 and 1910, in the final period of the monarchy.
Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) is the most complete and remarkable example of the Portuguese architecture of Romanticism.
