About this experience
Discover the Enchanting Beauty of Sintra: ️
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the fairytale landscapes of Sintra.
Sintra's history is as rich and varied as its landscape. Here's a condensed overview:
Early Settlements: The region around Sintra has been inhabited for thousands of years. Its strategic location made it attractive to various civilizations, including the Romans and Moors.
Moorish Influence: The Moors, who occupied the Iberian Peninsula for several centuries, left a significant mark on Sintra. The Moorish Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the town, is a testament to their architectural prowess.
Christian Reconquest: Sintra was retaken from the Moors by Christian forces in the 12th century. The town was granted to Christian nobility, and it became a royal retreat.
UNESCO World Heritage Site: In 1995, Sintra was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its cultural significance and the preservation of its historic monuments.
