Cultural landscape of Sintra [Our heritage]

Sintra (formerly Cintra) is a Portuguese town located 25 km northwest of Lisbon. The harmony between the town’s heritage and nature led UNESCO to list the town as Cultural Heritage of Humanity, in the “Cultural Landscape” category, in 1995.
In the 19th century, Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture. Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into a castle where this new sensitivity was displayed in the use of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements and in the creation of a park blending local and exotic species of trees. Other fine dwellings, built along the same lines in the surrounding serra, created a unique combination of parks and gardens which influenced the development of landscape architecture throughout Europe.
In 2017, to mark the Gardens in the Loire Valley cultural season , the series of articles dedicated to World Heritage sites will take you on a journey through gardens worldwide.
