Pena Palace history

The Palácio da Pena, was built at the top of the Serra de Sintra, it is the second highest point in the Serra de Sintra (above the palace, is Cruz Alta, 528 meters above sea level).
In 1838, King Fernando 2nd acquired the old convent of the Jerónimos monks of Nossa Senhora da Pena, which had been built at the top of the Serra de Sintra in 1511 by King Manuel 1st, which had been abandoned since 1834 with the extinction of religious orders.
The convent consisted of the cloister, chapel, sacristy and bell tower, which today constitute the northern nucleus of the Palácio da Pena, or Palácio Velho.
To enter the Palace, you have to climb the steep ramp that Baron de Eschwege built. The Palace has two wings, the former Manueline convent of the Order of Saint Jerome and the wing built in the 19th century by King Fernando 2nd. These wings are surrounded by a third structure, which resembles an imaginary castle with round roads with merlons and battlements, watchtowers, an access tunnel and even a drawbridge.
King Fernando 2nd ordered the Parque da Pena to be planted around the Palace, in the style of romantic gardens, with winding paths, pavilions and stone benches punctuating the paths, as well as trees and other plants from the four corners of the world, taking advantage of the humid climate of the Sintra mountains and creating an exotic park with more than five hundred species.
