Romantic Sintra, 1854
Sintra in 1854 is at the height of its Romantic reinvention: Ferdinand II's Arabian-tinged Pena Palace crowns the ridge while restored Moorish battlements and the old National Palace define the town below. The walk moves between painted ramparts, camellia-filled quintas and mist-softened terraces, encountering ox carts, donkey guides and the town's market life under the shadow of white chimneys and Atlantic haze.
26 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 10 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Sintra as it stood in 1854 (“Sintra”).
