    Hiking

    The Church of St. Mary is located somewhat away from the main hustle and bustle of Sintra and, with its simple white facade and azulejos tiles, exudes a pleasant tranquility. Inside, you'll find a bright, uncluttered interior and a few lovely details to discover. Outside, the small square in front of the church invites you to take a short break before continuing uphill to the next highlights.

    The Church of Santa Maria in Sintra, dating from the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th, displays Gothic and Manueline styles. Classified as a National Monument, it survived damage from the 1755 earthquake and subsequent restorations. The Gothic portal, the bell tower with a bell from 1468 and Spanish-Arabic tiles stand out.
