佩纳宫 (Pena Palace)位于葡萄牙里斯本近郊的新特拉镇(Sintra),宫殿是粉红色的,是摩尔贵族与葡萄牙王室的夏宫。之所以在新特拉建夏宫是因为这里树林阴翳、满目葱茏,风景迄人。这一带山峦起伏,宫殿、城堡和别墅就坐落在这一碧连天之中,人文景观与自然风光揉合在一起,难怪诗人拜伦把新特拉喻为伊甸园。
The Pena National Palace constitutes one of the major expressions of 19th century Romanticism in Portugal. This National Monument was built by the initiative of D. Fernando of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, who married Queen Mary II, in 1836. Endowed with a complete education, the future King Fernando II quickly fell in love with Sintra and, when going up the Mountain range for the first time, sighted the ruins of an old Hyeronimite convent originally built by Diogo Boitac in the reign of King John II and substantially transformed by King Manuel I that, when fulfilling a promise, ordered it to be reconstructed, into rock, in praise of Our Lady of Pena, donating it again to the Order of St. Jerome (a monks' order).
