Visit the Parque da Pena - San Pedro de Penaferrim (Sintra)

The Pena Park located in the Parish of San Pedro de Penaferrim, in the Serra de Sintra is a walled compound, located on the summits of the area east of the Eastern Sierra, with high cliffs and sharp valleys, north exposure preferred. The maximum height of the park is at High Cross (the highest peak in the Sierra, with 528 meters) and the lower zone is the Feteira Countess, standing at 380 meters.
The park is composed of multiple plots, over its nearly 200 hectares, with different characteristics, served by a very widespread network of paths which constitute a real and deliberate maze. Inside, stand buildings of great beauty, like the Countess Chalet, the Temple of Columns, the Throne, the Palace and the Lakes.
