Located in the heart of Sintra, the National Palace is the best preserved medieval palace in Portugal. It was inhabited almost continuously from the 15th through the 19th centuries. Today it functions as one of the most important museums in Portugal. One of the things that makes the National Palace unique is its blend of Manueline and Moorish architecture. Construction commenced during the time that the Moors controlled a good share of Portugal and was completed after the Portuguese monarchy reclaimed the territory. The castle is one of the most easily accessible attractions in Sintra because it literally sits in the heart of Old Town Sintra. Open from 930 AM (0930) to 7 PM (1900) daily.
