Sintra National Palace, Portugal It was one of two castles at what is now Sintra in the Moorish Al-Andalus era that began with the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the 8th century. The other, now known as the Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of the Moors), located atop a high hill overlooking modern Sintra, is now a romantic ruin.

The Palacio Biester has only been open to the public since 2022. The tragic story of the family whose name the manor carries also gives the mysterious attraction a vibe that matches the film that was created here.
