The history I was able to see en el Palåcio Nacional de Pena was amazing. It was truly different than any other historical monument I had seen before and has motivated me to visit other national historic sites. It was a real castle where a king actually lived and that was mind blowing to me. The Portuguese people are a lot smaller than Americans on average and that was very noticeable in the king’s castle. I was truly blessed to be able to see such a monument.
