Palacio da Pena en Sintra

Se dice que Fernando II quería que su palacio de verano se pareciera a una ópera. Su gran drama se logró al imponer su gusto ecléctico y opulento a los arquitectos del castillo, colocando un castillo medieval rojo brillante junto a una torre amarilla inspirada en el islam. El interior es igual de extravagante, con habitaciones temáticas que van desde el Medio Oriente hasta el barroco europeo, decoradas con estuco, pinturas trampantojo y azulejos. Fernando incorporó las tierras de varias fincas en los terrenos de su castillo, utilizando sus tierras para crear un parque romántico de 200 hectáreas. Con la ayuda del barón von Eschwege y el barón von Kessler, Fernando importó flora de todo el mundo para crear su parque romántico, que está conectado al castillo a través de un laberinto de senderos y caminos estrechos. Hoy en día, el gobierno portugués sigue utilizando este sitio declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO para eventos de estado.

About

It’s said that Ferdinand II wanted his summer palace to look like an opera. His grand drama was achieved by imposing his eclectic and opulent taste on the castle’s architects, placing a bright red medieval castle next to a yellow Islamic inspired tower. The interior is just as extravagant, with themed rooms ranging from Middle Eastern to baroque European, decorated in stucco, trompe-l'oeil paintings, and tile. Ferdinand incorporated the lands from several estates into his castle grounds, using their lands to create a sprawling 200 hectare park. With the help of Baron von Eschwege and the Baron von Kessler, Ferdinand imported flora from around the world to create his Romantic park, which is connected to the castle via a labyrinth of paths and narrow roads. Today, the Portuguese government still use this UNESCO World Heritage Site for state occasions.
