The Sintra National Palace in the old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

Church of Santa Maria in Sintra

Highlight • Religious Site

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.
