Palácio de Pena - Portugal

Started in the middle ages as a small chapel on a hill; the place went thru so many royal family owners that it transformed into a majestic castle. Until in 1889 was purchased by the Portuguese State and transformed into a museum. Today, the palace became one of Portugal's most visited monuments.

I must admit that visiting this castle is like experiencing the whole "package." From driving to the location, walking thru the forest, climbing those steps in the fortress, finally reaching the castle, and exploring the interiors and its collections. If you are the type of person that likes to pay attention to detail, you will need more than a day to explore the castle. Enjoy!

Thank you for traveling with me!

This is part of my ongoing Travel Visualclips, where I shared a glimpse of my travel visuals and thought. Each series features a paragraph of the history of the place and a paragraph of my thought. Accompanied by no more than fifteen carefully curated images, each series is intended to give readers the umami of travel.
