Trip to Spain and Portugal - Sintra (continued) Pena Palace

This Romanticist castle located in Sao Pedro de Penaferrim, Sintra is the most colorful and beautiful castle and palace I have ever seen in Portugal.  The palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and said to be the one of the seven wonders of Portugal. The castle's history started when a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Pena.

When we visited it, it was a very foggy day.  You can tell from my photos that the visibility was limited.  But that gives my photos certain romantic feeling.  Each photo was taken from look at the castle from different angles.

Here is what the castle looks like in a clear day (photo from web):
