The Pena Palace (Portuguese: Palácio da Pena) is a
Romanticist castle in São Pedro de Penaferrim, in the municipality of Sintra,
on the Portuguese Riviera. The castle stands on the top of a hill in the Sintra
Mountains above the town of Sintra, and on a clear day it can be easily seen
from Lisbon and much of its metropolitan area. It is a national monument and
constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th-century Romanticism in the
world. The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders
of Portugal. It is also used for state occasions by the President of the
Portuguese Republic and other government officials.
