At 27 km from Lisbon is a small town Sintra, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The former Moorish sanctuary was chosen by monastic and knightly orders, and then turned into a royal residence. Nowadays it is necessary to allocate at least two days for the inspection of this city. Modern Sintra - it's numerous palaces, surrounded by exotic parks with tropical greens and beautiful fountains, narrow winding streets through the hills, steep staircases built by Masonic lodges.
