Introduction to Sintra
Essentially romantic in character this town was poetically described by Lord Byron as "this glorious Eden". It was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Original Sintra is not large to visit but it now encompasses two outlying areas named Estefânia and São Pedro. As the older part sits on a granite slope it is best seen on foot or by a horse-drawn carriage.
Abounding in history the town is dominated by the two conical chimneys of the Palácio Nacional da Vila that was the summer home of the royal family since the 15th Century.
Scattered on the hillside are several historical creations openly showing the diverseness of each original owner’s taste in architecture. The most outstanding example is possibly the Palácio da Pena, a 19th Century recreation of different styles admired by Dom Fernando II, the husband of the young Portuguese Queen Maria II, often regarded as a failed attempt to create his own romantic revival. This castle stands high on the southeast side of the mountain range whilst overlooking the village are the ruined ramparts of the Castelo dos Mouros, a fort dating from the 8th Century. Within it is an ancient Moorish cistern and the panoramic view from its walls is impressive.
There are several churches in the town and the most interesting is the 12th Century Igreja de Santa Maria rebuilt in 1755 after the earthquake.
Several private palaces are open to the public amongst which are the Palácio de Seteais, a magnificent 18th Century home converted into a five star Hotel, Casa dos Ribafrias, a 16th Century building once belonging to the Marquês de Pombal, Quinta de Pena Verde, another 16th century palace.
Another place of interest is the Convento dos Capuchos, an unusual hermitage with tiny dwarf cells cut from the rock.
Within the old town there are two museums, Museu de Brinquedo showing only toys from the past and present, and the Museu Regional retelling the history of the area with items and relics an sometimes also holding art exhibitions.

July, 8th 2001 Thank you for your hospitality. We have enjoyed it very much to stay in your nice apartment in Sintra! We enjoyed the afternoons and evenings in the patio and the swimming pool together with your old dog - he is so kind! We made trips to Sintra: Palacio Real, Palácio da Pena and Castelo dos Mouros, two days to Lisbon with the train (Belém, Chiado, Alfama, Baixa - we liked it very much) and a wonderful tour to Mafra and around the beautiful Serra de Sintra (Cruz Alta) with its rich vegetation!

20 Février 2003 Deux merveilleuses semaines, des voisins sympathiques et l’hospitalité portugaise ont rendu notre séjour très spécial. Nous avons profité de notre appartement et de quelques promenades alentour. Nous avons fortement apprecié nos visites au palais de la Pena, au Cap de la Roca et à la Praia das Maçãs pour un délicieux dîner chez Nautilus.Notre promenade préférée a été à Obidos, un paradis pour les artistes, tant de beauté venue du passé. Nazaré, avec son funiculaire que nos a mené au Sitio, une grande aventure. Sintra est devenue très chère a nous yeux avec l’aide de nos hôtes et leur merveilleuse hospitalité. Nous rentrons à la maison avec des merveilleux souvenirs, des vacances bien passées, ainsi qu’une nouvelle approche et compréhension de ce joli pays. C’est un don de Dieu : la beauté de ce scénario, l’art et la culture du Portugal. |
