ONE OF THE MOST<br />
PRESTIGIOUS ESTATES,<br />
WHICH IS NOW PART<br />
OF SINTRA’S HISTORY.<br />
In the nineteenth century, Sintra is the great inspiration for artists and writers,<br />
which increasingly attracted the Nobility and bourgeoisie of that time and<br />
therefore, Palaces, Manor <strong>House</strong>s and cottages were constructed.<br />
During this time, <strong>The</strong> SALDANHA QUINTA is built. One of the most<br />
prestigious estates, which is now part of Sintra’s history.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Manor house is built in 1830 by the Marquis de Saldanha, Marquis of<br />
Pombal’s grandson, prime minister of King Joseph.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Noble house is built on the Serra’s northen slope near the Moorish<br />
Castle, with a privileged view of the National Palace of Sintra.
