Quinta dos Ribafrias
Quinta dos Ribafrias, Renaissance palace in Sintra, Portugal
The Quinta dos Ribafrias estate features a main manor house with a thirty-meter tower adorned with detailed cornices and painted wooden ceilings.
King Manuel I granted the land to Gaspar Gonçalves in 1515, who constructed the estate between 1536 and 1541, naming it Herdade das Laranjeiras.
The estate incorporates Portuguese architectural elements, including Manueline details, Mudéjar battlements, and wooden ceilings depicting hunting and maritime scenes.
The gardens remain open daily to visitors, while the manor house requires special permission for entry through the Cultursintra Foundation management.
The seventeen-century tower displays merlon battlements and symmetrical façades influenced by the design of the Mosque of Cordoba.
