Sintra is one of the most interesting places in the world, for it history, and archeologie.

It all begins same thousand years ago. You can have references about it, since the "Itenerários" from Plínio , Strabos, Pompónio Mela or iven from Strabão.

But in my opinion the best historical references about Sintra you can read them in the "Monarchia Lusitana" from Frei Bernardo de Brito. There is also a very interesting book from João de Barros called the "Crónica do Imperador Clarimundo" the subject is Sintra but told in a very different kind of literature,(a midle - age way).

Sintra during many centuries was known as "Monte da Lua", Moon Mount, where the most ancient culture manifestation take place.

A heritage imortalized by Knight´s and Poets, it is a wonder that everyone should at least ones in life came and visit it.

I just hope that in the future organizations as UNESCO can help to preserve this unique place in the world.
