Palace at Sintra





This palace was built in the late 1800’s and privately owned. The grounds had a huge landscaped area of probably 5-10 acres. There were not only plants and flowers, but all sorts of stone structures: caves, winding walkways, an 80 underground tower that led down to a maze with fake exits, lookout towers, terraces and status.

2) This is an 80 foot deep well with steps leading down. At the bottom you find a maze of tunnels to get back out.
3) One of the towers located randomly about the gardens.
