Pena Palace.
The Pena Palace was one of the main residences of the Portuguese royal family during the 19th century and at the same time constitutes one of the maximum expressions of the romantic style of the 19th century in Portugal. It is located in the parish of Sau Pedro de Penaferrim in the city of Sintra. The palace was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1995.
This palace, perched on large rocks, presents a totally intentional mix of architectural styles. You can find elements that belong to the Neo-Gothic, Neo-Manueline, Neo-Islamic, Neo-Renaissance and to a lesser extent colonial architecture. The reason for this is that the romantic mentality of the 19th century is enormously fascinated by everything exotic.
