The National Palace of Sintra is a striking blend of Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline architecture. It’s construction began in the 15th century.
Recognizable by its iconic twin chimneys, the palace served as a royal residence for centuries, almost up to the end of the monarchy, in 1910.
Inside, visitors can admire beautifully decorated rooms with intricate tilework, elaborate wooden ceilings, and stunning azulejo panels. Highlights include the Swan Room, the Magpie Room, and the impressive Coat of Arms Room. As the best-preserved medieval royal palace in Portugal, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the country’s history and aristocratic life.
