Quinta da Regaleira: A Palace With A Mysterious Gothic Appearance
Italian architect Luigi Manini designed the four-hectare Quinta da Regaleira, located near the historic center of Sintra, Portugal, with its enigmatic buildings, believed to hide symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture of the palace evokes Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline architectural styles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and most of it was concluded by 1910. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the “Cultural Landscape of Sintra”.
Quinta da Regaleira was built in a Romantic revivalist style, in an imitation of Gothic, Manueline, and Renaissance architectural and decorative forms, mixed with a mythical and esoteric symbolism
