Quinta da Regaleira

Quinta da Regaleira it is the only big attraction of Sintra, which is not included in the National Park of Sintra, although it is located on its territory. The place is very unusual and we recommended it.

Its present appearance manor received in 1892-1910 when it belonged to the Portuguese businessman Carvalho Monteiro. Later, palace several times changed owners until in 1996 was bought by the state and restored.












On the roof of the palace can be found different hares and other animals.








Nice view of Sintra from the roof.


Glass floor in the library creates the illusion of vast space.


The park is quite large, you have to walk uphill a lot.










The most unusual and interesting object in the park is the Well of initiation. Nine spans represent the nine circles of Dante's hell.


A long underground tunnel from the well to the park. The same tunnels exist in other parts of the park.
