🇵🇹 Sintra
📍 Quinta Da Regaleira
Quick Bit:
This palace was amazing. My favorite by far was the initiation well. Supposedly, it’s 27 meters (88.5 feet) deep. They say this palace is gothic & mystical✨ Supposedly, it was not only a well but allegedly, a portal to another world, hidden secrets, steeped in symbolism & mystery.
There are several hidden tunnels underneath the palace interconnecting to lakes & gardens.
There was a chapel & manor home on the premises as well.
