Palácio da Pena

Pena Palace rises above the forests of Sintra and represents one of the most recognizable symbols of Portugal. Its colorful facades, Romanticist architecture, and hilltop position create the impression that the building emerges from the mist that frequently envelops the surrounding landscape. In addition to its lavishly decorated rooms, the complex includes expansive gardens through which visitors can explore a different part of Sintra away from the main tourist trails.
