🇵🇹 Pena Palace

Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena) is a breathtaking Romanticist palace located in Sintra, Portugal. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Portugal's Seven Wonders, it sits atop Serra de Sintra, on the grounds of a former 16th-century monastery. In 1838, King Fernando II acquired the site and played a key role in transforming the old monastery, adding a new wing to create the magnificent palace, which later became a summer residence for the royal family. Plan to spend at least two hours exploring the palace due to its vast size, and if you have extra time, take a stroll through the beautiful surrounding park. To save time and 5% on tickets, it’s recommended to buy them online before your visit. #travellerswonderland #100waysoftravel #portugal #sintra #lisbon #palace #unesco #penapalace #monastery #interior #courtyard #tripblazers #europe #europetrip #worldheritage
