Schedules, prices and history of Quinta da Regaleira

The Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most surprising monuments in the Serra de Sintra. It is 900 meters from the historic center of Vila de Sintra, it was built between 1904 and 1910, at the end of the Monarchy.
The romantic domains formerly belonging to the Viscondessa da Regaleira were acquired and expanded by Dr. António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) to build a place, as the center of his own “world”. Having a great fortune, which earned him the nickname of Monteiro of the Millions. He hired the Italian architect and scenographer Luigi Manini (1848-1936) for the architecture and landscape project, as well as the mastery of the sculptors, stonemasons and carvers who had worked with him at the Palace Hotel in Buçaco.
A man with a scientific spirit, vast culture and rare sensitivity, a notable bibliophile, collector and great philanthropist, he left in this stone farm the vision of a cosmology, synthesis of humanity’s spiritual memory, whose roots plunge into the Portuguese and Universal Mythical Tradition. The architecture and art of the palace, chapel and other constructions were conceived in the context of a paradise garden, emphasizing the Neo-Manueline and Renaissance styles. The garden is a place of magic and mystery.
There are references to mythology, the Order of Christ (former Templars) and Alchemy. Here Heaven and Earth unite in a sensory reality.
