📍 Quinta da Ribafria Of the imposing construction, the highlight is a 17th century tower that, according to legend, served “so that the owner of Ribafria could see Penha Verde, which belonged to him, as a descendant of the founder D. João de Castro” from there . At the west angle is the Ribafria shield carved in stone and in the gardens a large tank, in whose waters it is possible to see the facade of the building and a magnificent cistern, with a vast room with its ashlar vault supported by arches and columns of eternal solidity.

It is an outdoor park, art museum of sorts, outdoor venue, which does not charge to enter. It is used for music events, srt shows, camping, school functions... It was pleasant to walk through and just take in the splendor of nature, the art exhibit, see kids enjoy a mini concert.....simply enjoy the outdoors

Couldn't get there very easily. Google gave us the wrong directions whiles hiking there. Eventually we found a different route. But it wasn't really worth the visit. It was quite boring. Not much to see there. The hike was cool. We saw a 🐍 snake. But I got very tired.

A Quinta da Ribafria foi adquirida pela CM Sintra, que a abriu ao público, em 2015. É um espaço de vegetação luxuriante que proporciona passeios e caminhadas agradáveis, nos jardins e parque. O solar, cujo interior não é visitável, é uma soberba edificação do século XVI, em estilo manuelino. A sua torre ostenta um impressionante escudo em pedra - escudo da Ribafria. A cisterna é também de grande beleza. O solar carece de restauro, apesar de estar muito longe de ser uma ruína. Os jardins evidenciam que são cuidados, apesar de pensar que se poderia fazer mais. Como habitualmente em Portugal, o elemento água é o elo fraco: as fontes não funcionam e os tanques ou precisam de limpeza, ou não têm água. A capela, situada no parque, está fechada, mas é possível ver o seu interior, revestido com belos azulejos; o exterior precisa de urgente reabilitação. Este é um local em Sintra que ainda não foi invadido por turistas. Durante a semana, pode-se deambular por aqui, durante um par de horas, sem se cruzar com ninguém - só isso faz desta quinta um local paradisíaco. A entrada é gratuita, a não ser que haja um qualquer evento cultural, podendo, nesse caso, ser paga. No caso de um evento, pode haver problemas de estacionamento, pois, nesses dias, o parque é...
