Its palace, chapel, towers, grottoes and underground tunnels were created at the turn of the twentieth century for a wealthy collector with a taste for symbolism, and its gardens hide a world of wells, caves and secret passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An estate of symbols<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estate was transformed between 1898 and 1912 for Ant\u00f3nio Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, who commissioned the Italian architect and set designer Luigi Manini. Together they created a place full of references to mythology, alchemy and the Portuguese discoveries, where every path and structure seems to carry a meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Initiation Well, a spiral staircase descending into the ground.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The grottoes and tunnels that connect different parts of the garden.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The palace, with its carved interiors and the chapel of the Holy Trinity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gardens, with their lakes, towers and hidden paths.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estate is at Rua Barbosa du Bocage, in the centre of Sintra.
