In the central area of Sintra, we find the town palace. This was used by the Portuguese royal family and has medieval, Gothic, Renaissance and romantic characteristics. It is located in a privileged location, close to the central area of the village, being a mandatory stop for all visitors.

{fa-map-marker } Capuchos Convent
Surrounded by nature and far from the gardens and palaces is the old Capuchos Convent. This one, devoid of any luxury and perfectly framed in the landscape, was the residence of Franciscan friars until the extinction of the religious orders.

{fa-map-marker }The travesseiros and Sintra queijadas
Leaving Sintra without tasting the greatest representatives of convent sweets is, like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope. There are several typical sweets but the most famous and with the surname of Sintra are the Queijadas and Sintra travesseiros. The queijadas are made with fresh cheese, sugar, flour and cinnamon and are disputed by two typical houses, the Fabrica das Verdadeiras Queijadas da Sapa and the Casa Piriquita.
Sintra’s travesseiros are the most requested sweets at Casa Piriquita. Puff pastry cake filled with almonds and eggs sprinkled with sugar and are irresistible.
