    The Initiation Well of the Quinta de Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal, is a place full of mysticism and mystery. This structure, also known as the Well of Enigmas, is one of the most impressive elements of the Palacio da Regaleira. Imagine a nine-story inverted tower, built in the center of the palace property, as if it were a staircase descending into the bowels of the earth.

      Preferably early on a working day, otherwise you just get pushed along with the crowd. Still worth seeing

        If you want to try your luck here to get a great picture, you should get there early...
        The crowds are so great that the effort of waiting in a long line isn't worth it - I think. Since you're just being looked through and you hardly have any time 🤷‍♀️...
