This 19th-century Romanticist masterpiece stands atop a rocky peak, the second highest point in Sintra Hills, and is richly adorned with Moorish and Manueline motifs. From the palace's balconies, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the peaceful forests and lush gardens, brimming with exotic plants and flowers.
