Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located near the historic center of Sintra in Portugal, the Regaleira Estate is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Sintra Cultural Landscape and is one of Sintra's main tourist attractions. The Regaleira estate includes the romantic Regaleira Palace, the Regaleira Chapel, and a sumptuous park with lakes, caves, wells, benches, fountains and a wide variety of exquisite buildings. The estate is also known as the "Millionaire Monteiro's Palace," after the nickname of the first owner. There is a small curved city wall in the middle of the manor. There are many sacred objects carved on the city wall. When you walk into the city wall, you will see a dry well with a depth of 27 meters when you pass through a cave that is more than ten meters long. The exit at the end of the cave is just right. In the middle of the well, a spiral staircase surrounds the well, with 9 spiral layers, symbolizing the 9 cycles of heaven, hell and purgatory described by Dante. Along the spiral staircase, you can walk from the bottom of the well to the wellhead. Outside the wellhead is a garden, a world of flowers.

Sintra is always filled with tourist. It's that kind of place. So if you have an aversion to crowds, then the Quinta da Regaleira might not be your cup of tea. That being said, we found this estate mind-blowing in terms of both architecture and history. It is a UNESCO listed world heritage site that looks as if it's right out of a fairy tale. Tickets can be bought at the gate. Water bottle, camera, and flat-soled comfortable shoes are a necessity. You will do a lot of walking as the estate not only contains buildings but also gardens. We spent at least three hours here and loved every minute.
