Rising from the craggy peaks of the Serra de Sintra, the Palácio Nacional da Pena appears less like a traditional European fortress and more like a fever dream of architectural history. Painted in vivid hues of golden yellow, terracotta red, and pastel gray, the palace is a masterclass in nineteenth-century Romanticism. Built under the direction of King Ferdinand II, the estate seamlessly blends Neo-Gothic, Neo-Manueline, Islamic, and Renaissance influences into a singular, breathtaking monument.
