The National Palace of Queluz and its historic gardens are one of the most extraordinary examples of the harmonious connection between landscape and palace architecture in Portugal.

The ancient history of Paço da Vila de Sintra begins during Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula. Already referred to in the 11th century, the primitive Moorish palace - owned by the Portuguese Crown after the conquest of Lisbon by D. Afonso Henriques (1147), 1st King of Portugal - is intervened for the first time in 1281, during the reign of D. Dinis. New construction bodies are added over time, under the reigns of D. Dinis, D. João I and D. Manuel I, maintaining their silhouette since the middle of the 16th century.
