		The Pena National Palace is one of the greatest expressions of the Romanticism applied to the constructed heritage, built in the 19th century in Portugal.
		The Palace is itself an eclectic building where the profusion of styles and the volume movements are an unusual and exceptional lesson of architecture.
		Nearly all the Palace lays on huge rocks, and the mixture of styles on display (neo-Gothic, neo-Manueline, neo-Islamic, neo-Renaissance and others) is truly intentional, since the Romantic mentality of the 19th century was unusually most fond of exotic.

	Portugal - Sintra - Pena Palace
		The Palace dates back to 1839, when the King Consort Dom Fernando II of Saxe Coburg-Gotha (1816-1885) bought the ruins of the Hieronymite Monastery of Nossa Senhora da Pena and started to adapt it for use as a residence, according to his Romantic taste.
		Fanciful to an extreme, the architectural fabric of Pena finds much of its inspiration in the Moorish, Gothic and Manueline motifs of Portuguese art, as well as in the Wagnerian spirit of the Schinkel Castles of Central Europe.
		It stands on one of the rocky peaks of the Serra de Sintra, and blends in a surprisingly fortunate manner with its natural background of greenery and crags, testifying to the aesthetic potentialities of the project.
