National Palace of Queluz
Built in the 18th-century, the Palace of Queluz is one of the last great Rococo buildings to be designed in Europe. Following the destruction by fire of the Ajuda Palace, in 1794, Queluz Palace became the official residence of the Portuguese royal family until the monarch’s departure to Brazil, following the Napoleonic invasions in 1807. Often referred as the Portuguese Versailles, the palace was recently renovated. Today, one of the wings of the palace, the Pousada D. Maria I, is used for the reception of the head of states that visit the country.
Sintra National Palace
The National Palace of Sintra is confused with the cultural landscape of the village. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 1992, this monument is the best preserved royal residence of the medieval age in Portugal. Between the XV century and XIX century there were several members of Portuguese royalty who inhabited this site — Queen Amélia (1885-1951), the last queen of Portugal, was very fond of the palace and made several drawings of it. After the great earthquake of 1755, the Palace underwent major renovations. With the foundation of the First Republic, in 1910, it became a national monument.
Park and National Palace of Pena
The National Palace of Pena is a symbol of the Portuguese 19th century romanticism. Its architecture contrasts with the deep forest that surrounds the Palace. The interior is also soaked in the romanticist spirit with painted terraces, decorative battlements, mythological statues, secret paths and ornate rooms. This monument was restored in 1910 when the Portuguese nobility fled to Brazil to escape the republican revolution and remains until today one of the most iconic places in Portugal.
