Palácio da Pena, or "Castelo da Pena" as it is more commonly known, is the most complete and notable example of Portuguese architecture in the Romantic period. It stands on one of the rocky peaks of the Serra de Sintra, and blends in a surprisingly fortunate manner with its natural background of greenery and crags Photo entrance to the Pene Palace royal lavish spectacular view decorated tiles parapets towers ornate splendid splendor magnificent Sintra Portugal Europe European tourism attraction royal royalty history historical palatial wealth splendor horizontal carved from solid stone
