Sintra Pena Palace Painting

Watercolour on Canvas. Sintra Pena Palace. This fairytale palace is one of Europe's most eclectic constructions, built over an old convent which was incorporated into the new building (including a Manueline cloister decorated with early-16th-century tiles). It's neo-Gothic, neo-Manueline, neo-Moorish and neo-Renaissance, creating one of the finest examples of European Romanticism. There are watchtowers of various shapes, one of the gateways is topped by a half-man half-fish creature, and much of the interior (untouched since the last royals left in 1910) is decorated with oriental porcelain and European furniture. In the separate kitchen are displays of large cooking utensils used to prepare the royal banquets. Often compared to Germany's Bavarian castles, Pena is as symbolic to Portugal as Neuschwanstein is to Germany, although it actually predates that Bavarian icon by two decades.
