QUINTA DE MOLHA-PÃO
Quinta do Molha-Pão near the village of Tala, Sintra, stands out for its rich architectural heritage, inserted in a walled area and 37 hectares, spreads over a landscape of great beauty, in a slightly sloping area isolated by a wall. According to Anne Stoop, its picturesque name is due to a popular soup offered every week to the poor (Stoop, 1999). The current area is one third of the original 90ha where a beautiful manor house, spacious gardens, agricultural fields, orchards and pine forest produce horticultural products that today still feed Lisbon's markets.
