The Double Cone Towers And the Palácio Nacional de Sintra
The double cones of the Palácio Nacional de Sintra are so peculiar and I couldn't guess their purpose. Of course, it makes total sense now, once you visit. So without reading the article below, what would you guess the function of these two palace cones to be? Please leave a comment. This article was published first TODAY on our Lisbon Travel Blog.

Great pictures. What camera do you use?
The Sony A7 ... which is almost falling apart from using it so much!!! Love that camera, at first I wasn't sure about the digital viewfinder but the size and weight is such a big bonus.
I'm probably gonna upgrade my camera soon. I'm locked in with Canon because of the lens I have already.
I used to be canon boy ... I was debating for a long time but went with the Sony.
Heya, just swinging by to let you know you're being featured in our Daily Travel Digest!

Thank you so much for your feature! And we will make sure that we will post more things so you have more places to put on your list and we on your map ;)
Loved the pictures and the story behind it but as an artist, I've really got fascinated by the architecture of the towers even though I'm a fan of simplicity :D
For some reason those towers touch me too in a weird, good way!!!
Oh my gosh that garden is beautiful. I love the ceiling - the whole message of it is so good. I will always look up now and imagine that ceiling when people are gossiping.
And I'll call gossipers magpies from now on!
Oh yes true. I went the other way. Magpies are gossips! Have you heard them nattering :D

Want to have your post on the map too?
Ha ha! I love it how the king bothers to design something just because his servants were gossiping about him
I know a few current word leaders doing something similar childish.
You guys visit the craziest historical sites! I love it! the shots of the spiral staircase and the very fractal/psychedelic ceiling. So much fine detail was put into old architecture it amazes me! Great photos and very informational!
There some more coming up from Sintra, this town is loaded with beautiful history sites. Thank you so much for your compliment and for stopping by.
I would have said a sort of air conditioning system.. As it is in Portugal...
Steem on, love your work (and i am not just talking about blogging)
Les Pitchous
I can totally see that ... some kind of wind tunnel for the summer months. Thank you so much for your kind words.
