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.
As a reflection of Carvalho Monteiro's belief in primitivism, the estate's high woods are left untamed and disorganized while the lower woods are well organized. Structures may be seen all across the park that are aesthetically pleasing, meaningful, and energetic. The venue also has a Café with a wonderful terrace garden. Indulge in lunch or a cup of tea at your own expense as you enjoy the views.
