Quinta da Regaleira
Sintra was, in the 19th century, one of the first cribs of Romantic architecture in Europe. Its own climate and the consequent nature attracted the eyes of those who sensitized to the landscape dared to retouch it with a stunning architecture in Edenic harmony propitious to the contemplation of the Beautiful and the Sublime.
It is in this picturesque setting that we find, right at the exit from the historic center of Sintra, the Quinta da Regaleira. Designed and built in the course of the late eight centuries, it reflects the sensitivity and cultural, philosophical and scientific interests of the Owner, António Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), allied with the virtuosism of Italian architect-cenographer Luigi Manini (1848-1936). From the culture and creativity of these two personalities, it resulted in an eclectic-revivalist architectural ensemble, with particular focus on the styles Manuelino, Renaissance. Medieval and Classical. The Guide will also talk about the history of this Palace.
