Description
Just outside Lisbon, the resort town of Sintra is a wonderful place to put on your Portugal itinerary. Home of the Royal Palace of Sintra, a striking example of Moorish architecture positioned high on a hill in the center of the city, it's easy to see why this location is rapidly becoming a popular tourist attraction. Sintra is a place rich in history and culture with charming shops, cafes, and lively street performers creating a festive, fun atmosphere as you walk the streets and explore the city. Certainly a highlight was the tour of the Pena National Palace with its whimsical interior design and accompanying stories of the quirky royal family through the years. This image was taken as I stood in the center area of the town looking up to the surrounding hills with their exquisite villas and palaces tucked way on the mountainsides. The turreted architecture, repeating arches and coordinating brick and stone all serve to make it a magnificent home overlooking the city. With its colors, textures, tones and lines, I think this image would make a great unique interior design element as a framed print or canvas.
