During my stay at the guesthouse, the house owner would always ask me whenever he saw me, \"Are you planning to visit Sintra today?\" or \"Have you just returned from Sintra?\" If the answer was no, he would passionately talk about the beauty of Sintra. Consequently, inspired by his enthusiasm, I set off.<\/p>\n

\u25e6 Sintra<\/span><\/h6>\n

Upon arriving in Sintra, located in the suburbs of Lisbon, I realized that his praise was not an exaggeration. This town, which has been listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a mountain town covered with trees. Thanks to its cool climate, Sintra became the summer retreat for the Portuguese royal family, which led to the construction of numerous palaces, mansions, and castles.<\/p>\n

The Pena Palace and the Castle of the Moors left the most profound impressions on me.<\/p>\n

\u25e6 Pal\u00e1cio Nacional de Pena<\/span><\/h6>\n

The Pena Palace, heralded as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal, was built in the 19th century and is a castle located atop the hills of Sintra. Its exterior is vibrant and whimsical, creating a striking contrast with the Castle of the Moors.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness of this palace lies in its fundamental differences from other European palaces. Apart from its bold use of color and discordant materials and textures, the architectural style incorporates a variety of elements, including Renaissance, Gothic, Moorish, and Manueline styles.<\/p>\n

\u25e6 Castelo dos Mouros<\/span><\/h6>\n

At the Castle of the Moors, all that remains are the dilapidated ruins, which contribute to its desolate atmosphere in contrast to other castles. Situated halfway up the mountain, this castle offers an excellent vantage point overlooking the entire town. Just standing here, images of its glory days and the generational decline come to mind.<\/p>\n
