Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz
This is the first monument to visit, it takes around 1:30h to visit. I'll be waiting for you for the next monument. The National Palace of Queluz, also known as Queluz Royal Palace, is a Portuguese royal residence, in the municipality of Sintra, which was built as such between 1747 and 1760 on the project of the architect Jean-Baptiste Robillon and at the behest of Prince Pietro (Pedro) III (1717-1786) husband of Queen Maria I (1734-1816) who transformed a pre-existing country residence. Called the "Versailles of Portugal", the palace was used above all as a place of entertainment for the royal family: concerts, bullfights and fireworks were held there, especially on the occasion of religious holidays or other events. Queen Maria I lived here for many years, but otherwise the palace was not very frequented by the royal family. It is still used for concerts and as a reception place for foreign heads of state, it also houses the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art. Ticket costs 10eur
Palace that was restored and opened on 2023
Castelo dos Mouros
History shows that from 5,000 BC there was the occupation of this area by the Neolithic communities, thanks to objects that remain to this day which demonstrate this fact. In 1200 BC there was also a village in this place, which left numerous ceramic fragments. In the 8th century, the Muslim conquest of Al-andalus began in the Iberian territory. In the 10th century the castle was founded, administered by the caliphate of Cordoba. In 1147, the Arab domination of the castle ended, thanks to the conquest of Lisbon by D. Afonso Henriques. In 1287, D. Dinis donates the city of Sintra to Queen Santa Isabel. In 1995 the Castle and the Serra de Sintra are classified by UNESCO as a Cultural Landscape - World Heritage. In 2007 the rehabilitation of the Castle begins, already in possession of Parques de Sintra and in 2013 the Castle opens to the public, with reforms and adaptations for visitors. ticket costs 8eur
