Palácio e Parque Biester

"The Biester Palace is a unique example of romantic architecture, having been the residence of the Biester family, who commissioned it from José Luiz Monteiro, a renowned architect of national architecture, who gave it a unique decoration and several artistic details, which were carried out by the master. carver Leandro Braga and artists Luigi Manini and Paul Baudry. The Botanical Park The paths are very well marked and the places of greatest interest, which deserve a longer visit, are duly documented using small black signs (with descriptions in Portuguese and English). Pena Cave This space stands out as one of the refuge points in the Biester Palace Botanical Park. The formation is natural and offers a rocky recess where large rounded rocks seem to be suspended to provide a very pleasant interior space. Viewpoints: the Castle and the Discoveries From the Biester Palace Botanical Park you can find two fantastic viewpoints, one of them with an incredible panoramic view over the entire park. The first viewpoint is called Miradouro do Castelo, it is located next to the picnic park and has one of the most privileged views of the town of Sintra, directly towards the Castelo dos Mouros. The Discoveries Viewpoint is the more incredible of the two! It's in one of the park's deserted areas, but the trip there is more than justified... and mandatory!"

"This is hands down my favorite palace in Sintra "
