Sintra, Portugal ( UNESCO WHS )
Sintra is both a town and a municipality in Portugal, located in the Grande Lisboa subregion and the Lisbon Region. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on account of its 19th century Romantic architecture.
The town of Sintra refuses to be promoted to City Status, despite being the center of the second most populated municipality of Portugal.
Sintra has become a major tourist attraction, with many day-trippers visiting from nearby Lisbon. Attractions include the fabulous Pena Palace (19th c.) and the Castelo dos Mouros (reconstructed 19th c.) with a breath-taking view of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, and the summer residence of the kings of Portugal Palácio Nacional de Sintra (largely 15th/16th c.), in the town itself. The Sintra Mountain Range, one of the largest parks in the Lisbon area, (Serra de Sintra) is also a major tourist attraction.
辛特拉(Sintra)的童話城堡:
位在里斯本西北方的古老山城，由於森林茂密、景觀優美，自古以來就是著名的渡假勝地，青翠的森林之間錯落著建築造型、顏色形狀各不相同的渡假別墅，就像童話故事中的城堡王國。英國詩人拜倫曾讚譽此地為「地上的伊甸園」。从前这里是王室府邸的聚集地，现在是非常难得的隐蔽场所（几乎是唯美主义者的避难所）。每年夏季音乐节的精彩表演吸引了许多观众。
