High on the rocky Serra da Sintra peaks perches the 19th-century Pena National Palace (Palácio da Pena). Built from the ruins of the Heronymite Monastery, it displays the best of magical Sintra, which is a UNESCO Heritage Site.
The palace is one of the finest examples of Romantic revivalism, with Moorish, Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance pastiche. Stunning gardens with pathways, pavilions and fountains surround the palace, and there are great views from the Cruz Alta hill.
