The Palace of Queluz with a beautiful decoration filled with pieces of enormous value, became the official residence of royalty, especially the Portuguese prince regent, the future D. João VI, as well as his family, until the flight of the royal family to Brazil due to the French invasions. In this palace was born D. Pedro IV or D. Pedro I of Brazil. It also served as a discreet place of imprisonment for Queen Mary I, Mary Louca, while her madness continued to worsen after D. Pedro's death. - In the village of Mafra, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the monumental Palace of Mafra, which was erected by D. João V in 1711. Known also as a place of welcoming people, there is also the famous Tapada de Mafra with an area of 1187 hectares and surrounded by a wall with a length of 21 km. The Tapada has a great diversity of animal and vegetable species. - The palace, located in the center of the village, is the most luxurious national convent in the Baroque style and also houses, in addition to the Convent, a Basilica and the Royal Library. The Library displays a precious collection of more than 40,000 books with gold bindings, including the first edition of the Luís de Camões Lusíadas. It also has a set of six organs, unique in the World for size and beauty. - A retreat for writers, Monserrate attracted countless foreign travelers, mainly English, who praised its beauty in travel stories and prints. When Francis Cook, a wealthy 19th century English industrialist and great art collector, visited the site, he was fascinated. Out of that passion was born a masterpiece of Romanticism: the Park and Palace of Monserrate. - Its micro-climate guarantees a permanent freshness to the village and the growth of fantastic vegetation, making this a mysterious and deeply romantic place. The Pena National Palace, Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrate Palace stand out as the main monuments. Arriving at the village, we drive to the top of the Serra de Sintra and to the Pena Palace, built on a rock at 500m above sea level, dominating the entire coast as far as Lisbon, it represents one of the best expressions of 19th century Romanticism in the world, being, in fact, the Europe's first romantic palace, built some 30 years before the charismatic Schloss Neuschwanstein, in Bavaria, Germany - Located close to the village, Quinta da Regaleira, with its romantic atmosphere, is an eccentrically decorated palace with gardens full of grottos, fountains, underground tunnels, caves and numerous statues, which hide alchemical meanings, such as those evoked by Freemasonry, Templars and Rosicrucians. , ending our visit with a well-deserved lunch. - The current Sintra Palace is made up of many royal palaces. It is a set of buildings that were built, added and adapted over the centuries, with the date of the foundation of the oldest palace being an enigma still unsolved today. Most likely, the first building was built around the 10th or 11th century, when Sintra was Islamic territory. At the end of the Middle Ages, the Paço de Sintra was the center of a territory managed by the Queens of Portugal, but it was also one of the favorite spaces of Portuguese monarchs. The abundance of game in the region, the freshness of the climate during the summer months or the need for refuge in periods of plague in the capital made Paço de Sintra a frequent destination. Keeper of memories and witness to exciting events in the history of Portugal, Paço de Sintra offers visitors the opportunity to travel back in time and meet other lives so different from ours.
