National Palace of Pena: The Epitome of RomanticismA vibrant example of 19th-century Romantic architecture, National Palace of Pena is perched on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Known for its distinctive twin chimneys and intricate tile work, this palace has been a silent witness to centuries of history, from Moorish occupation to royal banquets. One of the enduring legends associated with the palace is that of a betrayed queen's ghost, who is said to roam the halls in sorrow. Discover the grandeur of the Swan Room and the Magpie Room, each offering a glimpse into medieval court life and intrigue.
Quinta da Regaleira: A Symbolic LabyrinthMystery lovers will be captivated by the Quinta da Regaleira, an estate that is a labyrinth of symbolism and hidden meanings.
