Fairy Tale Castle, Sintra's Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena)

On the forested hills of Sintra, a magnificent structure emerges through the clouds and mist—this is the Pena Palace (Palácio da Pena). With its vibrant colors and whimsical design, this palace feels more like a scene from a fairy tale than reality, making every step feel magical. The red towers, yellow walls, blue tiles, and gray stone columns blend harmoniously to create this masterpiece, hailed as the pinnacle of 19th-century Romantic architecture. It was brought to life by the imagination of King Ferdinand II of Portugal.
