In my previous blogpost "10 Reasons To Visit Lisbon" #10 was Sintra, an incredibly beautiful town just about 25 km from Lisbon. It is full of history, culture, architecture and tourists come here to visit the palace of:
QUINTA DA RAGALEIRA
The Quinta da Regaleira is an extravagant 19th century gothic mansion that is surrounded with some of the most elaborate gardens of Sintra. The gardens are a joy to explore as they are filled with decorative fortifications, mystic religious symbols and a series of secrete passages and caves. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra". Along with the other palaces in the area such as the Quinta do Relógio, Pena, Monserrate and Seteais palaces, it is considered one of the principal tourist attractions of Sintra. The property consists of a romantic palace and chapel, and a luxurious park that features lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions. The central feature of the gardens is the initiation well, a well that was drained, expanded
Photo Diary - Our Steemy Day Trip To Sintra
If you don't know already, I adore beautiful architecture, interior and pretty much everything that has to do with patterns, design and art. Walking around the gardens of Sintra gave me joy, peace of mind and lots of inspiration. Sometimes I am so caught up in work that I forget the importance of going for a walk, getting outside to reconnect with nature and disconnect from devices, to rejuvenate and refresh our brains. I hope these pictures inspire you to plan your next adventure!
CASTLES
Beautiful details
CAVES
The 27 metre deep well, resembles an inverted tower, and depending on the direction you choose, either a journey down into the depths of the earth, or a climb out of the darkness into the light, the journey through the earth is like a rebirth through mother natures womb, from where all things come and where one day all shall return.

Oh my!!!! That first photo of the castle. How majestic. It almost transports you back in time, to try and imagine the 'goings on' of everyday life way back when. And those waterfalls... you could spend forever there i am sure! There is something so mystical about them.

OMG what a gorgeous place..... I could get lost there forever
Phenomenal post! I seems in a former day and age they build architecture to last ...to stand the test of time and make a statement with detail and character. Today we are so for the moment in our culture. Instant gratification is in. Generic is acceptable. I wonder if we will return to the grandiose and wonderful. Your photography is delightful and joy to see. Thanks @mrs.steemit.
