The Peninha Sanctuary, located in the Sintra Mountains in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, in Portugal, is located at an altitude of 448 meters, offering views over the coast and inland. In addition to a baroque chapel completed in 1710, the site is home to the Peninha Palace, dating from 1918, and remains of a hermitage. Currently, the interiors of the chapel and palace are not open to visitors.

Hiking

This sanctuary, along with its chapel and palace, stands on a steep hill, offering visitors a spectacular view of the entire coast. To get to the Santuario da Peninha, you can take the EN-247 road from Cascais/Malveira da Serra or from Sintra/Colares.
