Monserrate Park and Palace (Sintra)

Parque e Palácio de Monserrate

Palace

A Romantic palace and landscaped park with a long story: a neo-Gothic house rented in 1793 by William Beckford and later remade by Francis Cook, who turned the old chapel into a fake ruin; look for the Indian Arch in the park.

Good to know

  • Roof restoration runs until early 2027, with scaffolding on the palace.
  • It lies outside the village: plan a bus or taxi rather than walking.
