Sintra is a small town, in a spectacular setting, ideal for a day trip from Lisbon. It houses a Royal Palace, used by generations of Portuguese royalty prior to the revolution. The surrounding hills are surmounted by the remains of the Moorish Castle and by the nineteenth-century Pena Palace.
The town of Sintra still looks Medieval. It was known for a strong tradition of astral cults who are still visable in monuments and archaeological objects.
Sintra is really a very special place, very nice, but it gave us a spooky feeling :-) |
