Pena National Palace in Sintra

You're standing at Pena Palace, high on a hilltop above Sintra. Just look at those colours, the towers, the battlements and the domes. It's like something out of a fairy tale. On a clear day you can even spot this palace from Lisbon. It's one of the great expressions of nineteenth-century Romanticism, and the styles happily mix: Neo-Gothic, Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Manueline and Islamic touches.
