Parque e Palacio de Monserrate

in #travel7 years ago

Parque e Palacio de Monserrate...... Probably only in Portugal could appear a place that combines the romanticism of Indian, Moorish and Gothic styles. This place owned at first by Portuguese, then the Moors, then Spanish, then again the Portuguese, the British. And now the Portuguese government allows tourists from around the world to touch this thousand-year history ... There is a wonderful acoustic room at the Palacio de Monserrate. If you get a chance, Be sure to listen to the sound of the Portuguese guitar there. The Portuguese guitar is related to the plucked string instrument from the family of cittern and not as one would think based on the name.
