723 PT - Cultural Landscape of Sintra (1995)

Brief Description

"In the 19th century Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture. Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into a castle where this new sensitivity was displayed in the use of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements and in the creation of a park blending local and exotic species of trees. Other fine dwellings, built along the same lines in the surrounding serra, created a unique combination of parks and gardens which influenced the development of landscape architecture throughout Europe."
辛特拉文化景观
"辛特拉是19世纪第一块云集欧洲浪漫主义建筑的土地。费迪 南德二世把被毁坏的教堂改建成了一座城堡，这一建筑集中了哥特式、埃及式、摩尔式和文艺复兴时期的建筑特点，同时在城堡的公园里把许多国外树种与本地树木 混合栽种。该地还有许多其他精美的建筑，全都倚着周围的山脉而建，这些公园和庭院景致交相辉映，美不胜收，对整个欧洲的景观建筑设计发展产生了重大影响。"
