Sintra, Administrative division in Sintra, Portugal.
Sintra is an administrative division in the town of Sintra, Portugal, and encompasses several neighborhoods and historic areas within the Lisbon Metropolitan region. The territory combines modern residential zones with older village centers scattered across gentle hills.
Present-day Sintra was formed in 2013 through the merger of three former parishes. This administrative reform reorganized the town's local structure according to new boundaries.
The parish territory includes multiple architectural monuments and incorporates sections of Sintra that represent Portuguese administrative heritage.
The area spreads across forested hills and is best explored on foot or by local buses, especially when visiting the different villages. The rolling terrain can be tiring, so visitors should wear sturdy shoes and plan rest stops.
This administrative division contains both urban developments and natural landscapes, positioned at coordinates 38°47′53″N and 9°23′13″W.
