Portugal, Sintra - Monserrate Palace

The video explores the history and architectural evolution of the Monserrate estate in Portugal. Initially owned by the Portuguese court, it underwent several transformations, including a Neo-Gothic house built by Gerard de Visme and a landscape garden designed by William Beckford. The estate's design reflects Romanticism and Mudehar Moorish revival architecture. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site, Monserrate has been restored and awarded for its garden development. The gardens feature diverse plant species from around the world, organized by geographical regions.
