#33 Pena Palace

Pena Palace, Sintra, Portugal

About this stone

Built in the 19th century, this palace is a whimsical fusion of architectural styles, blending Moorish, Gothic, and Manueline influences. Its riot of pastel hues and intricate detailing make it an unparalleled gem of the Romantic era. Originally a monastery, King Ferdinand II transformed the ruins into his dream palace, filling it with treasures and mementos from his travels. The penguin stone awaits near the entrance, nestled among the stone walls as you approach—a hidden companion to this architectural marvel.
