The Palacio Nacional de Sintra in the heart of the village is the best-preserved medieval royal palace in Portugal, its distinctive twin conical chimneys visible from kilometres away and its interior tiled with the largest collection of medieval azulejo tiles outside of Lisbon, including the extraordinary Magpie Room and Swan Room. The palace served as the summer residence of the Portuguese royal family from the 14th to the 19th centuries. Hotels near Sintra National Palace are in the centre of the village, directly beside the daily market and the historic town square.
