[Pena Palace] Pena Palace is the king's palace, its dazzling, strange, pretentious posture looks like a paradise castle. The palace itself is a hodgepodge of various architectural styles, with Gothic, Renaissance, Moorish and Manuel styles (Architecture of the Portuguese King Nuer I). It was the 19th century Portuguese Queen Maria. The blood of the husband of II, Ferdinand. This is not only a Portuguese national monument, but also one of Portugal's seven wonders.

In 1995, it was selected as a World Heritage Site as part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape. It is now frequently used for the state affairs of the Portuguese President and other government officials. While in the Middle Ages, it was just a church of the Virgin. In 1493, the Joao II couple came here for pilgrimage, and the successor Manuel I built the monastery. In 1755, the monastery was razed to the ground during the Lisbon earthquake. In 1842-1854, the summer palace was vigorously built. The architect was the German von Eschwege, and was eventually completed in 1885. You can take pictures outside the palace of Pena Palace. The colorful castles are also a good place for red and concave shapes. However, you can't take pictures in the palace, and the backpack needs to be in front. Sometimes there are people who block people taking pictures.
