Another view of the Initiation Well, looking up toward the top. The stairwell is in an alcove that circles the well. Trees are visible through the opening at the top. For more information on this site, see the Alt-Text for the previous picture.

"The Hidden Palace" - I didn't get many shots when I visited #QuintadaRegaleira in #Sintra, #Portugal, as it was heavily raining a good deal of the time, but I loved coming across the Chapel through the foliage like this.

A view of the ornate Gothic spires of Quinta da Regaleira rising through mist, partially obscured by layers of vibrant green trees. The architecture’s intricate stone detailing is softly revealed through atmospheric haze. The scene is framed naturally by overhanging branches and forest foliage in the foreground.

Looking down from the top of the Initiation Well on the grounds of the Quinta Da Regaleira (Regaleira Farm) in Sintra, Portugal. A circular stairwell in an alcove surrounds a central shaft leading down to the bottom. What is an Initiation Well you ask? According to the story we were told, it was used in Masonic rituals to initiate new members into the next level of status/membership/whatever. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea. The entire grounds of this place is covered in weird structures, caves etc. It has Disneyland vibe to it - like an alternate or enhanced or caricaturized version of history. Mostly it feels like a place built for tourists. I could be wrong, and maybe it all served some actual purpose, but it certainly didn't feel like it to me. If you think you saw me post this previously, you're right. I hadn't been including alt-text then, and I feel like I should, so some pics will be reposted. Most won't be this longwinded.

Quinta da Regaleira, located in the area surrounding the historic center of Sintra and part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra—designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995— was acquired in 1893 by António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro, who commissioned the Italian architect and set designer Luigi Manini to design the complex.

If you find yourself in Sintra, Portugal from now until August 30th, do yourself a favor and visit the Festina Lente show at the Quinta da Regaleira at night. Mesmerizing, for real.
