| Description |
Sintra, Portugal The Initiation Wells resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources, they were used for ceremonial purposes. The larger one contains a 27-metre spiral staircase with several small landings. The spacing of these landings, combined with the number of steps in the stairs, are linked to Tarot mysticism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism or Knights Templar rituals. The smaller well contains straight stairs that connect a series of ring-shaped floors to one another. Quinta da Regaleira is located near the historic centre of Sintra. The World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra" consists of a palace and chapel, and a luxurious park that features lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions. The palace was designed by the italian architect Luigi Manini. |
