Palace of Pena
A pit-stop on our hike to the castleDay 10: June 14, 2010
After leaving Lisbon, we made our way to Sintra. This was a very quaint town featuring castles, monuments and palaces.
We took a tour of the Castillo de Muro (a Moorish Castle with breathtaking views overlooking Sintra and giving views onto the Palace of Pena). The nature hike to the Castillo was spectacular leading you to the monumentus castle with all its towers and countless steps.
We truly enjoyed the Palcio Pena - a four colored castle. The Park and the Palace of Pena are the finest examples of nineteenth century Portuguese Romanticism and the integration of natural and built heritage. They constitute the most important part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra's World Heritage site.
