What makes Quinta da Regaleira worth visiting
The Quinta da Regaleira, a beautiful castle and mysterious garden that was built in the late 1800s reflects the interests and worldviews of its first owner, billionaire Portuguese-Brazilian António Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro. All admirers of architecture, landscape, and even mysticism should visit the Quinta da Regaleira. The estate conceals occult buildings, magical settings, and alchemical symbols connected to the Rosicrucian Order, the Templars, and Freemasonry. Exuberantly Gothic pinnacles, gargoyles, capitals, and an amazing octagonal tower define the building's façade.
Hassle-free entry and optional upgrades
Along with the skip-the-line entry and the freedom to explore at your leisure, you can opt for a downloadable, multilingual audio guide that is filled with well-researched content to make your visit more informative and engaging. For a more personal touch choose the company of a knowledgeable English-speaking guide to discover the lesser-known secrets, myths, and legends associated with the Quinta. You can also opt for a guided tour of Sintra with a visit to Cascais as you cool down in this beach vacation spot.
