Показать описание
Perched atop Portugal’s Sintra Mountains sits Pena National Palace, an eclectic attraction built in the late 18th century. The castle’s vibrant colors and unusual architecture were the brainchild of King Ferdinand II, who built the palace to serve as a summer home for the Portuguese royal family. Today, it holds the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors from around the world.

The construction of Pena National Palace took place between 1842 and 1854 - the middle of the 19th century, not the 18th. Great Big Story might want to correct the description to that effect.
