SINTRA - Romantic Capital

WELCOME TO SINTRA!

Sintra is the only place in the country in wich history has become a garden, because all it's legends converge there and it's very monuments speak less of the past than of an eternal present of greenery. Louvar Amar (To Praise, To Love), Vergílio Ferreira.

MONUMENTS

Sintra is a parallel universe wich we only encounter in our dreams, but it actually exists very close by.

MOORISH CASTLE

Winding around two peaks in the Serra de Sintra (Sintra mountains), the Moorish Castle dates from the very beginning of the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula, in the 8th century.

PALÁCIO NACIONAL DA PENA

Pena National Palace, in the historical town of Sintra and part of the Pena park, represents one of the best expressions in the world of 19th-century architectural Romanticism.

NATURE

Taking a closer and deeper look into the serra reveals some remarkably exquisite cultural features.

AZENHAS DO MAR

A viewpoint from which one can see the Sintra coastline. It has a stunning view of the cliffs looming over the full majesty of the Atlantic Ocean...
