PORTUGAL - The Park and Palace of Pena, Sintra

Today, 6 cards come to my mailbox.  The first card is from Ricardo, a great card shows Palace of Pena. Thank you.


"Sintra is a town and a municipality in the Grande Lisboa subregion of Portugal. Located in the Sintra hills, the Park and Palace of Pena are the fruit of King Ferdinand II’s creative genius and the greatest expression of 19th-century romanticism in Portugal, denoting clear influences from the Manueline and Moorish styles of architecture. The palace was built in such a way as to be visible from any point in the park, which consists of a forest and luxuriant gardens with over five hundred different species of trees originating from the four corners of the earth."
