Pena Palace Sintra -PORTUGAL

 

Pena Palace Sintra -PORTUGAL


The Palace of La Pena
    In Portugal, the magnificent Palacio de la Pena is one of the greatest examples of 19th century romanticism.

    Located on the Mount of La Pena, the Palace was built on the site of a former convent of monks of the Order of São Jerónimo. It is the figment of the imagination of D. Fernando Saxe Coburgo-Gotha, who married in 1936 with Queen D. Maria II. In love with Sintra, he had decided to become the owner of the convent and the land surrounding it in order to build the summer palace of the royal family.

Beautiful Bruges

 

Beautiful Bruges
Thank you Parisse for the nice card  sent 3 -11 -2021

    Bruges is home of historical, artistic and architectural wonders. The museums are overflowing with works of art from the Flemish Primitives to the great contemporary artists. In the city center, there are monasteries and beautiful residences such as the perfectly preserved Hof Bladelin. Bruges was a textile center in the 13th century, and although today the city is a major tourist destination, it has retained its medieval charm with its many canals and richly decorated houses. The historic district, which is only accessible on foot, is bristling with arrows and gothic flourishes. The friendly inhabitants of the capital of West Flanders have no trouble impressing tourists, as they are proud to show off their city's best features, such as the Groeninge Museum, the Church of Our Lady, the Belfry and the Market Hall.

München

 

Thanks to Stefan for the card , sent 01.11.2021

    Munich (München in German) means "home of the monks", a name that stems from the Benedictine monastery founded in the area around the mid-8th century. While there is evidence of settlements in the area dating back to the Neolithic period, and the wider region of Bavaria has a history entwined in the Roman Empire, the first time that Munich was mentioned by in a document was in 1158, and this date is generally accepted as its foundation.
