It is the best-preserved medieval royal residence in Portugal, being inhabited more or less continuously from at least the early 15th century to the late 19th century. It is a significant tourist attraction, and is part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra,[2] a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
