Visit the palace and Regaleira Estate Millions - Sao Martinho (Sintra)

The Regaleira Estate, located in the Parish of Saint Martin (Sintra) in the historical center of Sintra, classified World Heritage by UNESCO, was built in the early twentieth century, the romantic ideal, this fascinating collection of buildings in the middle of forest, is the result of achieving the dreams of its owner, Antonio Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), combined with the talent of the Italian architect-designer Luigi Manini (1848-1936).
Fifth Regaleira presents a magnificent landscape with gardens and buildings, which highlights the Palace of the Million and Holy Trinity Chapel
The culmination of the visit to the Fifth Regaleira, we must rely on the adventure of the Knights Templar, or the ideals of the Master Masons, to descend into the pit initiation by a huge spiral staircase. And, deep down with your feet on an eight-pointed star, is like being immersed in the womb of Mother Earth. Then, we can only go through the dark labyrinth of caves, to reach the light, reflected in lakes amazing.
