After many attempts, was finally taken by Dom Afonso Henriques first king of Portugal in 1147, and was built the first Christian Chapel of the city, dedicated to St. Peter of Penaferrim.
In the romantic period, in 1860, the walls were restored under the supervision of Dom Fernando II, husband of Dona Maria II, who wooded the surrounding areas, and gave a new dignity to the ancient medieval ruins. Noteworthy is the Moorish Cistern inside and the so-called Royal Tower.

Very close to the historic center of Sintra is Quinta da Regaleira, one of the most enigmatic sights of Sintra.
Quinta da Regaleira was built in the early twentieth century by millionaire Antonio Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), who managed to realize one of his dreams here with the help of scenographic architect Luigi Manini (1848-1936). Surrounded by lush greenery, Palácio da Regaleira is a fascinating discovery.
The palace was built in a romantic revivalist style, imitating Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architectural and decorative forms, mixed with mythical and esoteric symbolism.
A special mention is reserved for the Holy Trinity Chapel, where visitors can take a spiral staircase down to the crypt to discover the monumental initiation pit that, deep down, leads through a cave to an amazing lake hidden in the middle of the gardens. .

George our driver/guide was so amazing! We had 4 adults and a 1 year old, he was so patient and helpful with the baby even when she was crying. He brought us to a cafe for the best cappuccino we’ve ever had and pastries which were truly amazing. He was also so helpful with the plans for our Sintra experience
Highly recommend! This was the highlight of our Lisbon trip

Our day in Sintra was amazing. My husband and I were picked up/dropped off at our AirBnB in Lisbon which was extremely convenient. Unfortunately Pena Palace employees were on strike at the time but our quick thinking tour guide Filipe took us to the Palace da Regaleira instead. The grounds were breathtaking and the wells were a once in a lifetime experience. Following that we went into the town square of Sintra for a bite to eat then headed to Cabo da Roca. More breathtaking views at the most westernmost point of Europe. We took a scenic drive from there back to Lisbon through the town of Cascais and took a look at its gorgeous coastline. This was our last activity in Portugal and was a 10/10. Thank you!!
