The fantastical Romanticist palace crowning the Sintra hills, built 1842–1854 atop a ruined medieval monastery for King Ferdinand II in a riot of Neo-Gothic, Neo-Manueline and Neo-Islamic styles — the centerpiece of the UNESCO-listed Cultural Landscape of Sintra, managed today by Parques de Sintra.
