About Palácio da Pena - Visto do castelo dos Mouros. Pateceu-me brincar com esta linha de horizonte. Digam de vossa justiça.

------------------------------------------------

Constitui o mais completo e notável exemplar de arquitectura portuguesa do Romantismo. Edificado a cerca de 500 metros de altitude, remonta a 1839, quando o rei consorte D. Fernando II de Saxe Coburgo-Gotha (1816-1885), adquiriu as ruínas do Mosteiro Jerónimo de Nossa Senhora da Pena e iniciou a sua adaptação a palacete. Para dirigir as obras, chamou o Barão de Eschwege, que se inspirou nos palácios da Baviera para construir este notável edifício. Extremamente fantasiosa, a arquitectura da Pena utiliza os "motivos" mouriscos, góticos e manuelinos, mas também o espírito Wagneriano dos castelos Schinkel do centro da Europa. Situado a 4,5 Km do centro histórico.

Constituído por vários corpos edificados ao longo de sucessivas épocas, é um dos mais importantes exemplares portugueses de arquitectura relenga e por isso classificado de Monumento Nacional.

Este palácio tem origem provável num primitivo paço dos walis mouros. Traça actual proveniente de duas etapas de obras: a primeira, no reinado de D. João I (séc. XV); a segunda, no reinado de D. Manuel I (séc. XVI).

Possui o maior conjunto de azulejos mudéjares do país.

This palace is the most accomplished and remarkable example of Portuguese Romantic architecture. Built at approximately 500 metres above sea level, it goes back to 1839, when the prince consort D. Fernando II of Saxe-Coburg (1816-1885) bought the ruins of the Hieronymus Monastery of Our Lady of Pena and began to make it into a small palace. To oversee the work, he called Baron Eschwege, whose inspiration for this remarkable edifice came from palaces in Bavaria. Extremely fanciful, Pena?s architecture uses not only Moorish, gothic and Manueline motifs, but also the Wagnerian spirit of Central Europe?s, Schinkel castles.

The Pena Palace is located 4,5 Km from the historical Centre.

Dá-me a ideia que o palácio ficou um pouco desfocado, mas não deixa de ser uma bela fotografia.
