Architecture of Portugal and Manueline
The architecture of Portugal is unique - the fact is that around the middle of the 15th century, buildings were built here in the style of "Manueline". Named after the Portuguese monarch Manuel I, and is a mixture of several architectural trends - primarily Gothic, as well as Moorish, with the borrowing of exotic motifs.
"Manueline" is also called the Portuguese Renaissance, since its heyday coincides with the dawn of the might of the kingdom. Buildings in this style can be seen exclusively in Portugal and nowhere else in the world. In particular, it is the tower of St. Vincent in Belene, the monastery in Batalha, the Templar monastery in Tomere, the Cathedral of Lisbon and the royal residence in Sintra.
In general, Sintra, which for a long time was the seat of Portuguese rulers, is one of the most beautiful cities, certainly, after the capital. Its architecture could not but be included in the list of cultural heritage of UNESCO. This is truly a city-museum, where every house, fountain, every stone on cobbled streets is an invaluable exhibit.
Here there are several medieval castles, standing on inaccessible hills. Among them - and the chic palace "Palacio de Pena", in which the royal family spent the summer months. It is surrounded by a huge castle park and is characterized by unusual architectural solutions and sculptural design. A special charm to the ancient city is attached to the neighborhood with centuries-old forests.
Lisbon Attractions

In particular, then the famous Lisbon Cathedral (12th century) was completely rebuilt.
A special place in the city is considered the ancient streets of Shi'adu, Lapa, Rossiu, Alfama and Baixa. Here is concentrated a huge number of ancient cathedrals, basilicas and just very beautiful houses made in the best architectural traditions of past eras.
In the historical center of the city the castle of St. George is well preserved, which not only remembers the Moors, but even the Roman rulers. In the Middle Ages it was completed and today looks like a castle-fortress, typical of the Portuguese medieval defensive architecture.
