Palácio National de Sintra - Camara das pegas (Magpies Room)

This ceiling painting, which is considered the oldest in the Palace, gives this room its name. It includes 136 magpies with the motto of King João I (1385–1433), “Willingly”, and a rose, possibly alluding to the English House of Lancaster, to which Queen Philippa (1360–1415) belonged.
