Biester Palace is a hidden architectural gem that opened to the public only in 2022 after extensive restoration. Built in the late 19th century for Portuguese lawyer and politician Frederico Biester, the design combines Romantic and Neo-Gothic styles with opulent interior decorations featuring exotic woods, stained glass, and intricate plasterwork. The palace is surrounded by an expansive garden with ancient trees and walking paths. Less crowded than Sintra's main attractions, it offers a peaceful and intimate experience for lovers of historic architecture. Located near the road to Pena Palace, it's a perfect addition to your Sintra itinerary.
