Breve resumo da história do Palácio Nacional da Pena (Sintra,Portugal) / Brief resume of National Palace of Pena history
No século XII, no topo da serra de Sintra, existia uma capela dedicada a Nossa Senhora da Pena, ou da Penha aludindo os grandes penedos aqui existentes. No inicio do século XVI (1503) iniciou-se a construção do Real Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora da Pena, fundado por D. Manuel I, que o doou à Ordem de São Jerónimo. Em 1834 com a extinção das ordens religiosas em Portugal o mosteiro fica ao abandono. Em 1836 Fernando de Saxe-Coburgo e Gotha (D. Fernando II) casa com D. Maria II. Dois anos depois, 1838, D. Fernando II adquire o mosteiro e a zona envolvente em hasta pública. No ano seguinte inicia-se a reconstrução do mosteiro. Mas D. Fernando e D. Maria II tinham ‘um sonho maior’ e em 1843 inicia-se a construção do “Palácio Novo", sob a direcção do Barão de Eschwege. A obra é concluída em 1847. Muitos dos detalhes da construção romântica devem-se a D. Fernando II.
Em 7 de Julho de 2007 este Palácio foi eleito como uma das "Sete Maravilhas de Portugal".Este é apenas um pequeno resumo da história deste belo e mágico Palácio de sonhos. Para saber a história um pouco mais em pormenor, aconselho-vos vivamente a consultar, por exemplo a wikipedia (procure Palácio da Pena, Sintra, Portugal), e/ou www(doc)parquesdesintra(doc)pt .
In the 12th century, at the top of the Sintra's mountain, there was a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Pena, or Penha alluding to the large cliffs that exist here. At the beginning of the 16th century (1503) the construction of the Royal Monastery of Nossa Senhora da Pena was started, founded by D. Manuel I, who donated it to the Order of St. Jerome. In 1834 with the extinction of religious orders in Portugal the monastery is abandoned. In 1836 Fernando de Saxe-Coburgo and Gotha (D. Fernando II) married with D. Maria II. Two years later, in 1938, D. Fernando II acquired the monastery and the surrounding area by public auction. The following year begins the reconstruction of the monastery. But D. Fernando and D. Maria II had "a bigger dream" and in 1843 the construction of the "New Palace" began under the direction of Baron de Eschwege. The work is completed in 1847. Many of the details of the romantic construction are due to D. Fernando II.
On July 7, 2007 this Palace was elected as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal.
But this is just a small summary of the history of this beautiful and magic Palace of dreams. To know more about, I strongly urge you to consult, for example, the wikipedia (search Pena Palace,Sintra, Portugal), and/or at www (doc) parquesdesintra (doc) pt. And when you came to Portugal please visit it. It's realy realy wonderful :)
