Monuments on the Sintra Hills closed due to Very High Rural Fire Risk
The extreme weather conditions and the resulting increase in the risk of forest fires in the region have led the relevant authorities to declare the closure of the Sintra Hills forest perimeter over the coming days, as a preventive safety measure.
While access to the Sintra Hills remains prohibited, the following sites will therefore remain closed:
- Park and National Palace of Pena (closed on 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 August)
- Moorish Castle (closed on 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 August)
- Park and Palace of Monserrate (closed on 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 August)
- Convent of the Capuchos (closed on 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 August)
The National Palaces of Sintra and Queluz, as well as the facilities of the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art in Belém, remain open under their usual conditions.
This information will be updated on this page in accordance with the risk level determined by the relevant authorities.
