Quinta da Regaleira - Outside the House

The Quinta da Regaleira is one of Sintra's most interesting and eclectic estates. Carvalho Monteiro bought the estate in 1892 and with renown architect Luigi Manini, redesigned the four hectare estate in neo-manueline style. Construction started in 1904 and was completed in 1910. It was acquired by the township of Sintra in 1997 and was opened to the public in 1998. It was, in my opinion, the best castle/estate to see in Sintra...but they were all pretty incredible.
