Quinta da Regaleira Review

Quinta da Regaleira is a quinta located near the historic centre of Sintra, Portugal. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra

One of the most beautiful attractions in Sintra. Do not miss this neo-gothic mansion with the iconic initiation well. There are a few passages at the bottom of the initiation well for you to explore.

Sintra, which is listed as a world cultural heritage, is built on the hillside, and there are many palaces, manor houses and villas that coexist in a variety of architectural styles. Among them, the Regalella Manor must be visited and photographed. The Regalera Manor, formerly owned by Baron Regalera, Porto's rich merchant, was purchased by the rich merchant Monteiro and rebuilt in 1904-1910, also known as the "Millionaire Monteiro's Palace". The magnificent Regalera Palace + small and exquisite Regalera Church + 40,000 square meters of maze gardens make up the entire estate. Walking through the manor, the trees are shaded and green, the pavilion is graceful, the statues are all over, and the palace church is hidden among the flowers and trees, like a medieval picture scroll slowly unfolding. Countless spires, dazzling carvings, complicated without drag, stunning without falling into the commonplace... exotic style, beautiful.

Truly amazing and very atmospheric place, it's a high-light of our Portugal trip, you probably already seen a thousand gardens around the word, but there's nothing like this one !

Very beautiful both the Quinta da Regaleira itself and the walk to it. A must see while in Sintra.
