garden, palace, history, photoop, walking, Sintra

Monserrate is one of the most iconic sites to visit in Sintra. It is located approximately 3 km from the city center and there is a bus that goes to the park regularly. Monserrate has had many uses and many owners dating back several centuries but it was an English millionaire that bought the property and turned it into what it is today. He purchased the property in 1856 and immediately replaced the main building with a Moorish style palace. The palace is a beautiful structure in a picturesque setting but the real attraction of Monserrate is the botanical garden that was created by Cook. So a visit to Monserrate isn’t just a visit to a fine palace but instead a walk through an exceptional garden. There is a music room in the palace that is host to musical events throughout the year. If you happen to be lucky enough to be at Monserrate when an event is being held it is worth attending. Open daily from 930 AM (0930) to 7 PM (1900).
