Palace of Pena. This palace, which despite its "youth" (it was built during the 19th century) is one of the most beautiful in Europe, stands on an incomparable natural environment, that of Serra de Sintra, and is surrounded by a botanical garden in where thousands of species from all corners of the planet coexist.

A fantastic view from the palace to the sea and Sintra. However, the palace is starting to lose some of its color and needs a fresh coat of paint.
