Description

O Palácio Nacional de Sintra é o único sobrevivente íntegro dos paços reais medievais em Portugal. Muito provavelmente, foi construído sobre a residência dos antigos wallis muçulmanos e desde o início da Monarquia os monarcas portugueses aqui tiveram um Paço. As principais campanhas de obras que lhe conferiram o aspecto actual devem-se a D. João I, que o reconstruiu, e a D. Manuel I, que acrescentou a hoje denominada ala manuelina. Durante a Idade Moderna o Palácio não cessou de ser engrandecido, como o provam os elementos renascentistas do tempo de D. João III, a grande Sala dos Cisnes, a mais antiga Sala de aparato dos Palácios portugueses, e onde se encontram os retratos de D. Catarina de Bragança, de Carlos II de Inglaterra e de D. Pedro II, ou a Sala dos Brasões, cuja cúpula ostenta as armas de D. Manuel, de seus filhos, e de setenta e duas das mais importantes famílias da Nobreza, e cujo revestimento integral das paredes data do século XVIII, obra do ciclo dos Grandes Mestres da azulejaria lisboeta dessa altura. Afectado pelo grande terramoto de 1755, foi logo reconstruído "à maneira antiga", e durante os séculos XIX e XX sofreu ainda outras obras que transformaram irremediavelmente algumas partes, como os edifícios que fechavam o Largo Rainha D. Amélia, que então foram destruídos. Convertido em museu a partir de 1940, na actualidade é objecto de um Programa de restauro e valorização da responsabilidade do IPPAR, que teve como primeira medida a recuperação das coberturas e fachadas, e que prosseguirá com a recuperação e restauro do património móvel e com a criação de uma nova dinâmica na interpretação e animação do monumento e respectiva envolvente. A capela, reformulada na campanha de D. Manuel I, filia-se no estilo mudéjar, pelo tapete de azulejos hispano-mouriscos das paredes, de que subsistem muito poucos testemunhos em Portugal. Desses dois primeiros períodos, o principal destaque vai para a cozinha, com as suas duas chaminés de 33m de altura, a Sala Árabe, parcialmente revestida com azulejos de matriz geométrica, ou o magnífico pátio central, com os seus arcos geminados cairelados.

Made up of various constructions built over successive eras, it is one of the most important Portuguese examples of royal architecture and has therefore been classified as a National Monument. This palace is thought to have been originally a palace of the Moorish walis. Its current layout results from two phases of building works: the first one, in the reign of King John I (15th century), and the second in that of D. Manuel I (16th century). It has the greatest collection of Mudéjar tiles in the country. It is topped by two large twin chimneys built over the kitchen, which have become the symbol of Sintra. The Palácio Nacional de Sintra, also known as Paço Real or Palácio da Vila, dominates the whole urban centre of Sintra. With its two unusual chimneys that constitute the ex-libris of the region, it is the most important building constructed for the Royal Court, in Portugal. Its origins very likely date back to the palace of the Moorish walis, with the present design based essentially on two stages of first works. The first, in the reign of Dom João I, early 15th century, accounted for the central body of the building; the second in the reign of Dom Manuel I, in the first quarter of the 16th century, added several wings and in particular enriched the interior, which now possesses the most important collection of Mudejar azulejos (coloured glazed tiles) in the world. Connected as it has been with the most significant periods of Portuguese history, namely the birth and fall of the Empire, it has seen the most outstanding figures of Portuguese Art and Letters pass through its halls - Luís de Camões, Gil Vicente, João de Barros, Luísa Sigea, and others. Apart from historical significance, nowadays this Palace is the setting for many concerts of classical music, official receptions and historical pageants. <a href="http://www.cm-sintra.pt/Artigo.aspx?ID=3140" rel="nofollow">www.cm-sintra.pt/Artigo.aspx?ID=3140</a>
