There were not many people at the station at 9:30 am. |
Nobody else was in our vehicle... |
After ~45 minutes ride, we arrived at Sintra (this is teh local train which stops every single station on the way). |
Cute red trains. |
The view of the city from the palace entrance. |
After purchasing the tickets, we went upstairs through this staircase. |
The tiles with the unique designs. |
These are more familiar designs to me. |
First we entered the Swan's Room (Sala dos Cisnes). |
This room is in the Manueline style, named so because of the swans painted on the ceiling. |
Three pieces of animal heads in this room. They are ugly but cute. |
This is the Pegas' Room (Sala das Pegas). The magpies are painted on the ceiling and the frieze hold the emblem por bem (for honour) in their beaks. |
This room also has the beautiful Azulejos. |
These are the globe-motif tiles. I have never seen such a design on tiles before. |
This is someone's bedroom (I forgot whose). |
I would like to have these tiles in my bathroom... Where can I get them? |
The yachts on the ceiling of this room. The report of the palace to be continued... |
