Sintra’s many castles include the Palácio Nacional de Sintra (a main abode of Portuguese royalty until the early 20th century), the hilltop and storybook Palácio da Pena, Quinta de Regaleira (incorporating several architectural styles and with gorgeous surrounding gardens), the Castelo dos Mouros (Moorish Castle), and the Palácio de Monserrate.

Igreja de Sao Martinho

Reviewed By kurteg - Lenexa, United States

Just walking by and came upon this church worthy of mention. I understand the original church in the 1100s didn't survive the 1755 earthquake; nor did the priest celebrating mass at that moment. We have seen the resurrected Jesus wearing purple just like this one elsewhere.
