Sintra
The Park of Pena, a natural environment of rare beauty and significant scientific importance, is a project of landscape transformation. It has turned a once barren Hill into an arboretum that integrates several historic gardens, showcasing the site's unique natural value.
Spanning almost eighty-five hectares, the Park of Pena is a vast expanse of exceptional geological and climatic conditions, offering a grand and diverse natural landscape to explore.
The Palace of Pena
The Park and the Palace of Pena are the finest examples of nineteenth-century Portuguese Romanticism and the integration of natural and built heritage. They constitute the most essential part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra's World Heritage site. (Excerpts from Parques de Sintra)
