PALACES IN SINTRA
Choose what you want to visit
The town of Sintra nestled and protected in the cradle of the towering mountains, with its winding, narrow alleys and lanes, small squares and plazas, imposes rhythms that surprise with their Atlantic-Mediterranean, aristocratic or erudite clairvoyance.
Historic Sintra overflows its beauty and spreads across the verdant mountains, whether in a beautiful mansion, a fortification, a rustic chapel, or even a simple fountain or cross, thus constituting the magic of the place, because, in Sintra, the dialogue between Man and Nature is a constant between the past and the present.

PALACE OF PENA
The crowning jewel of the Sintra Mountains, dating back to the 19th century and a symbol of Romanticism in Portugal, is a masterpiece of King Ferdinand II and one of the most visited monuments in the country.
REGALEIRA FARM
More than a sightseeing tour, it's a journey into an imaginary universe of symbols and metaphors. With the imposing Initiation Well, nothing here is quite what it seems, but always a hint of something more intense, transcendent, and mysterious...
NATIONAL PALACE OF SINTRA
The oldest in Portugal, it dates back to the 10th century. Used by every dynasty, it was a favorite retreat for several monarchs. Its iconic chimneys are the hallmark of Sintra. A must-see historical and cultural monument.
BIESTER PALACE
It is much more than meets the eye, with a history full of secrets, a mysterious spiritual dimension, deep and complex mysticism in a fascinating cultural labyrinth.
MONSERRATE PALACE
One of the most beautiful architectural and landscape creations of Romanticism in Portugal: the Monserrate Park and Palace, a unique testament to the eclecticism of the 19th century.
MOOR CASTLE
Fortification founded in the 10th century, during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The walls wind through the mountains, their granite blocks amidst boulders and crags, contrasting sharply with the green of the mountains and the blue of the Atlantic.
