Panorama made my merging 5 photos
The Pena Palace (Portuguese: Palácio da Pena) is a Romanticist castle in São Pedro de Penaferrim, in the municipality of Sintra, on the Portuguese Riviera. The castle stands on the top of a hill in the Sintra Mountains above the town of Sintra, and on a clear day it can be easily seen from Lisbon and much of its metropolitan area. It is a national monument and constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in the world. The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. It is also used for state occasions by the President of the Portuguese Republic and other government officials.
Wish you a wonderful and happy week my friends :))**

[You will find this and other images of mine in my new website:
Sintra is a charming village just about 20 kms from Lisbon's center. The village itself is beautiiful and, in the mountain above it, the palace and castle are also jewels that justify a visit.
What isn't so well known is its coastal area, where you can explore beautiful beaches and amazing rock formations, Along the cooast you will find excellent trekking paths to explore the area.
The spot where this shot was taken has a magnificent view that extends as far as Praia da Ursa (you can see one of its iconic seastacks) and to Cabo da Roca with its far distant lighthouse.

"The buildings in the central square of São Martinho, across from the Sintra National Palace - In the link, there are many photos to view, if you will: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintra
The area includes the Sintra-Cascais Nature Park through which the Sintra Mountains run. The historic center of the Vila de Sintra is famous for its 19th-century Romanticist architecture, historic estates and villas, gardens, and royal palaces and castles, which resulted in the classification of the town as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sintra's landmarks include the medieval Castle of the Moors, the romanticist Pena National Palace and the Portuguese Renaissance Sintra National Palace."
I upload this photo to share with you, particularly, for Happy Fence Friday......Thinking of my good times. Well, it's been a long while, huh?
Also, thinking about where my next trip would be, "Portugal" is on my mind to visit this one country only. :-))
El Palacio Nacional de Sintra es Patrimonio Mundial de la Unesco y uno de los más peculiares de Portugal gracias a sus dos chimeneas cónicas que pueden observarse casi desde cualquier punto de Sintra. Aunque el palacio, en su origen, era de estilo árabe, fue renovado en el siglo XV siguiendo el estilo manuelino. Fue residencia real hasta la república y ahora es un centro cultural.
Sintra, Portugal (UNESCO World Heritage Site) showcases a special style of Architecture called Manueline which is a cross between Gothic & Romantic - it flourished particularly in the 19th century.

View of Sintra .. here you can see the Paço do Concelho (the tower is all covered in azulejos), built in early 1900. Sintra is a Unesco Heritage and an unique place; about 30 minutes frm Lisbon, its fascinating not only for its beauty and unique climate, but for its Palaces and History.
A favourite holiday place of the Royal family and beloved by the British its a charming place.
