Once upon a time, there was a German youth who had a deep passion for art. He was enamored with medieval romantic tales and legends, and he embarked on a mission to bring them to life. Interestingly enough, he happened to be the King of Portugal! Thus, from one individual's dream, the Pena Palace emerged, a structure straight out of fairy tales. This extraordinary building is a captivating fusion of grand Oriental and Western architectural styles, constructed on the grounds of a former monastery. We invite you to stroll along the palace walls, explore its rooms, delve into the stories of its inhabitants, unravel the enigmatic symbols, and discover more about Portugal through this exceptional monument. A visit to Pena Posad means to discover the final days spent by Queen Amalia here before the revolution, marvel at a genuine 19th-century DJ room turned hookah lounge, observe the transformation of the monastery into royal apartments, and admire breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Explore the Portuguese Wonder of the World!
