Palácio de Queluz



Here's a nice and inspiring example of the presence of Rococo Style in Portugal. It's called the "Room of the Throne" and you can see it with your own eyes at the Queluz Palace in the area of Sintra.
I went there last week and although there were lots of other rooms to see, i just felt i could stay at this one forever...guess it was love at first sight as it was one of the first rooms i entered...

Here's some other pics i took there. If you ever get a chance, don't waste it, visit The Palace of Queluz.
There's also the Palácio da Pena or ....well...The Feather Palace (as i guess its the correct translation) wich is a million times better, but obviously we are not alowed to take pictures inside...i went there with my school last Easter and its really impressive...
