Not very far from the historic centre of Sintra is one of the most beautiful architectural and landscape Romantic creations in Portugal: the Park and Palace of Monserrate, unique representatives of 19th century eclecticism.
Próxima do centro histórico de Sintra, situa-se uma das mais belas criações arquitetónicas e paisagísticas do Romantismo em Portugal: o Parque e Palácio de Monserrate, testemunhos ímpares dos ecletismos do século XIX.
The Palace combines gothic and Indian influences as well as Moorish suggestions together with exotic and plant motifs which are harmoniously extended to the exterior.
O Palácio combina influências góticas, indianas e sugestões mouriscas, bem como motivos exóticos e vegetalistas que se prolongam harmoniosamente no exterior.
The gardens have received species from all corners of the world, which were planted according to their geographical origin. The front lawn of the Palace provides a well-deserved rest, while discovering one of the richest Portuguese botanical gardens.
Os jardins receberam espécies vindas de todo o mundo e foram organizados por áreas geográficas. O relvado fronteiro ao Palácio permite o descanso merecido, durante a descoberta de um dos mais ricos jardins botânicos portugueses.
