Sanctuary of Peninha

One of the highlights of the Serra de Sintra National Park is the Temple of Beninha. It includes a chapel and a remote and secluded palace. It has a beautiful Baroque interior and azulejo tiles depicting the life of the Virgin Mary. The monastery stands atop a rugged rocky outcrop and offers stunning views of the entire Sintra coast. On a clear day the Berlengas Islands can be seen to the north and Cape Espychelles to the south.
