Palacio de Pena
This is just one yellow corner of the colorful and funky Palacio de Pena (located in Sintra, Portugal). The architecture combines many styles -- some Arabic, some reminiscent of Barcelona's Gaudi -- creating a truly unique and exciting palace on a serene hilltop about 30 minutes away from Lisbon.
About this place:
For a palace that dates back to the late 1800s, the Palacio de Pena is as full of life as a rock star. The vibrant colors, the quirky architectural details, the Portuguese tiles and Arabic archways -- this unique castle exudes personality through its odd yet spectacular combination of styles. It's truly original and worth a visit for anyone staying in Lisbon.
