SintraA Magical Place

The Pena Palace stands on a steep rock, which is the second highest point in the Serra de Sintra (above the palace there is only the High Cross, at an altitude of 528 m). The Palace is located in the eastern part of the Parque da Pena, so it is necessary to walk to reach the steep ramp that the Baron of Eschwege built to access the crenellated building. The Palace itself consists of two wings: the old Manueline convent of the Order of São Jerónimo and the wing built in the 19th century by King Ferdinand II.

Franciscan convent built in direct contact with nature and in accordance with a philosophy of extreme architectural and decorative simplicity. The Capuchos Convent, of reduced dimensions and notable for the extreme poverty of its construction, is also known as “Cork Convent”, given the extensive use of cork in the protection and decoration of its small spaces. Its rusticity and austerity are inseparable from the surrounding vegetation, in total integration with nature, to the point of incorporating huge granite fragments in the construction.
