History Of Pena Palace

Pena Palace Sintra one of the most famous places in Portugal, located in the picturesque town of Sintra, has a rich history of Pena Palace that dates back to the middle ages. Historians believe that after an apparition of the Virgin Mary, a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Pena was built atop the hill. Later in the 15th century, King Manuel I was drawn to this chapel and commissioned the construction of a monastery for the Order of Saint Jerome, which could accommodate 18 monks. However, lightning severely damaged the monastery in the 18th century. Fast forward to the early 19th century, and King consort Ferdinand II acquired the ruins of the monastery and the surrounding land to build a summer residence for the royal family. For the majority of the 20th century, the once-bright colors of the palace had faded into shades of gray.


However, in later years, the Palace underwent a restoration process to bring back its original vibrant hues of bright yellow and red. This Palace, which is an iconic symbol of Portugal's rich history, was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995, solidifying its importance in the country's cultural heritage. Today, the Palace is used to host various state events by the President of the Portuguese Republic and other government officials, adding to its significance as an important landmark and one of the best places to visit in Portugal.
