Introduction
The Pena National Palace crowns a misty peak above Sintra, Portugal — the pinnacle of 19th-century Romanticism, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 as part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra. The palace dazzles with clashing reds, yellows, blues and whites and a medley of Moorish and Gothic towers, its interiors still furnished with Portuguese royal possessions. From the terraces, on clear days, visitors glimpse both the Atlantic and the Tagus plain — Sintra's most dreamlike and photogenic landmark.
