The National Palace of Pena~ Portugal
The town of Sintra is filled with ancient architecture but the Pena Castle is the most extreme in Portuguese motifs. When we visited a heavy fog was in full force which made things appear even more intense. It has been grandly standing on the craggy top of Sintra Mountain since 1503 and has been a pilgrimage site since the middle ages.
Representing creation, Triton's arch embellishes one of the grand entranceways leading into the main halls of this ancient castle by the sea.
19th century romantic porcelains, paintings and relics fill the interior rooms with luxury. The inner walls of the castle mimic the old world colors of bold Portuguese style throughout.
The area surrounding was a dreamy landscape of ancient forests growing along beautifully lit cobble stone pathways leading to the city below.
A favorite of the kids visiting was the duck house fashioned after the grand castle above, only royal ducks dare enter! We loved exploring the bright and ancient architecture of the Pena Castle on top of the mountain!
