​​PORTUGAL - Sintra

A beautiful town at the foot of the mountain range of the same name, its unique characteristics have led UNESCO to classify it as a World heritage site. It was even necessary to create a special category for the purpose - that of "cultural landscape" - taking into account its natural riches as well as the historic buildings in the town and mountains. Endowed with luxuriant vegetation, the mountains are part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.​

The palaces are outstanding, such as the Pena Palace, built in the Romantic period on one of the mountain peaks, and the Moorish Castle captured in the 12th century by Dom Afonso Henriques, the first King of Portugal.
