Quinta da Regaleira history
Quinta da Regaleira, at 900 meters from the historic center of Vila de Sintra, was built between 1904 and 1910, at the end of the Monarchy.
The romantic domains that once belonged to the Viscountess of Regaleira, were acquired and expanded by Dr. António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) to build the center of his own “world”. Having a great fortune, which earned him the nickname Monteiro dos Míveis. 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, a vast culture, a notable bibliophile, collector and great philanthropist, he left on this stone farm the vision of a cosmology, a synthesis of humanity’s spiritual memory, whose roots go back to the Portuguese and Universal Mythical Tradition. The architecture and art of the palace, chapel and other buildings were designed in the context of a garden of Paradise, highlighting the Neo-Manueline and Renaissance styles. The garden is a place of magic and mysteries.
It contains references to mythology, the Order of Christ (former Templars) and Alchemistry.
