Sintra Portugal

Sintra is a town and municipality located in the Grande Lisboa subregion (Lisbon Region) of Portugal. This municipality is home to two cities: Queluz and Agualva-Cacém. Sintra is renowned for its numerous 19th-century Romantic architectural monuments, leading to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While its architectural and natural heritage is the most apparent aspect of Sintra's historical uniqueness, the area also boasts a rich literary heritage that has made it a legendary reference in Portuguese culture. Sintra has evolved into a significant tourist hub, attracting many day visitors who journey from the center and suburbs of the capital, Lisbon. Besides the Sintra Mountains and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park, the parishes of the town of Sintra are sprinkled with royal retreats, estates, castles, and other structures. These include the medieval Castelo dos Mouros, the Pena National Palace, and the Sintra National Palace.
