Palácio Nacional da Pena

The Pena National Palace (Portuguese: Palácio Nacional da Pena) is a Romanticist palace in São Pedro de Penaferrim, municipality of Sintra, Portugal.
The palace stands on the top of a hill above the town of Sintra,
and on a clear day it can be easily seen from Lisbon and much of its metropolitan area.
 
It is a national monument and constitutes one of the major expressions
of 19th-century Romanticism in the world.

It is also used for state occasions by the President of the Portuguese Republic 
and other government officials.
