Sintra. Palácio Nacional da Pena

The also known as Triton patio is an allegory of the world's creation. With a characteristic of Portuguese Manueline basic structure of Gothic style, all of it has a profuse decoration of vegetation and forms of corals.Said to be a maritime interpretation of Manueline style.
Undoubtedly the outstanding feature on this set of porch and window is the figure of Triton, who is half man and half fish, and also takes the position of the trunk of a tree.
When you see the Portico of the Triton, will give you the feeling that this monstrous figure is bearing on their back the whole window.
