Penha Palace (Palacio da Pena)

Palácio da Pena (or Castelo da Pena) was begun in 1839, when the King Consort Dom Fernando II of Saxe Coburg-Gotha purchased the former Hieronymite monastery of Nossa Senhora da Pena. It was built in a hectic-romantic style and surrounded by a gardenesque park and garden, understandably popular with tourists.
