Perched high above Sintra, Pena Palace looks like something straight out of a fantasy novel. Its bright yellow and red towers, decorative tiles, and dramatic terraces make it one of Portugal’s most photographed landmarks. Built in the 19th century, it blends Gothic, Moorish, and Renaissance influences.
