    The Quinta da Regaleira is a mansion located on the outskirts of the historic center of the city of Sintra, Portugal. It is part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape, included in the list of World Heritage of Humanity. This complex, which consists of a palace and an enigmatic garden, was the whim of Antonio Carvalho Monteiro, a Portuguese millionaire and philanthropist. With the help of the architect Luigi Manini, he built this estate that includes the Palacio da Regaleira, a small lake, a greenhouse, several towers, caves and secret passages, a chapel and the initiation well of Sintra (used by the Freemasons themselves). Carvalho Monteiro was a member of the Freemasons in Portugal and was fond of astrology, esotericism and the occult sciences, and he wanted to subtly leave a record of this in every corner of the Regaleira estate. A place full of mysteries and beauty! 😊

      The park is truly a highlight in Sintra. Unfortunately, it's now very crowded.
