Interesting, do you have any idea how old the building is?

It’s an interesting and quite beautiful town, Sintra. The palace building itself dates back to the 14th century, although the majority of it is from the 15th and 16th centuries. The site originally contained a Moorish castle built in the 8th century.

Fascinating.
