PENA PALACE

Published September 26, 2024 | By Dr. Jack Wheeler

Built as the summer residence of the Portuguese Royal family almost 200 years ago, Pena Palace stands atop the pinnacle of the Sintra mountains with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean far below.

Today a museum showpiece and World Heritage Site, it is one of the most spectacular castles in all
Europe. I was here with your fellow TTPers completing another marvelous exploration of the wondrous land of Portugal last May.

Rebel and I are thinking of having a New Years’ Celebration here in Portugal to bring in 2025 with great food, great wine, and great fun. What do you think? Let me know on the Forum. (Glimpses of Our
