Perched high above Sintra, this fairy-tale palace blends Gothic, Manueline, Moorish, and Renaissance architectural styles, offering breathtaking views over the surrounding hills and the Atlantic Ocean.
During the guided visit, your guide will share the fascinating story of King Ferdinand II — known as the “Artist King” — who transformed the ruins of a monastery into this dreamlike royal residence.

During the guided visit, you’ll explore the enchanting gardens, secret tunnels, and the iconic Initiatic Well, a spiral staircase descending deep into the earth — a powerful symbol of rebirth and initiation. Your guide will reveal the hidden meanings behind Masonic, alchemical, and mythological symbols that make this estate a true journey into the imagination.
