Palace and Quinta da Regaleira
A symbol-rich estate combines a palace, gardens, grottoes and the famous Initiation Well near central Sintra. The estate needs more time than its palace façade suggests.
Why go
Luigi Manini’s theatrical design turns a four-hectare estate into an unfolding walk through architecture and landscape. The wells and tunnels create a different experience from royal palaces; allow ample time and heed current route restrictions. The Initiation Well is one landmark within the much larger designed grounds.
What to look for
The Initiation Well connects to the estate’s garden design.
Useful to know
Allow ample time for the grounds and heed current route restrictions.
