Trip to Spain and Portugal- Palace of Sintra

The palace of Sintra is an architectural space that was built in various periods.  It consists of rooms and chambers where the Loyals received visitors, courtyards and terraces where the privileged enjoyed their leisure; offices where the steward and his clerk managed the royal property; and the gardens from which fruit and flowers were sent to Lisbon. 

The Palaces is also the center of the economic and legal administration of the surrounding region.  It was where the taxes were kept, contracts signed and the natural resources of the landscape of Sintra protected.
