@JRG clearly you don’t know me so there’s that and here’s this, I went to Portugal for 2 weeks and actually experienced Portugal the way the locals do and it was PHENOMENAL. They said they don’t have much but they have what they need in life and that’s what really matters Next time don’t assume it only makes you look like an ass ☺️ thank you
@@brizzle3903 I have a feeling that that JRG is a brazilian dude. They are always harrasing the portuguese all over yt comment section. They are resentful, vengeful and ignorant about the history of their own country and blame us for the failings of their ruling class, a bunch of corrupt politicians that re-wrote their history to put eternal blame on Portugal for their underachievements. While the common rabble is busy blaming Portugal, they won't notice they are being robbed by their corrupt politicians and elites. I'm happy that you enjoyed Portugal and our people treated you with warmth. You are welcome to return and share what we have, despite not being much in material terms, but we compensate with kindness, nice weather, gourgeous beaches and an epic history. And opposite to Brazil, the chances of being robbed at any corner are miniscule, and be taken hostage for ransom inexistent.

My advice for when you go to Quinta da Regaleira is 1) if you go in summer, wear something against mosquitoes; the dark, damp galleries are full of them and 2) bring a torch.
I'm so happy that I got to go there in the early 2000s. We got a 2-h guided tour explaining all the symbolism, there were maybe 50 people in all the garden, nobody was walking up the well in the wrong direction, there were no lights in the tunnels, no crowds waiting to cross the lake, and the stepping stones were almost underwater. The whole effect was superb, and one could easily forget being a tourist and pretend at being an initiate.
fascinating to think that one of the factors that gave Portugal such a headstart in World trade in the medieval times were them not hunting down the dtemplars, but rather offering them asylum in exchange for their knowledge and skill.
Here are a few points to complement what you wrote: First of all, the Knights Templar were established in Portugal in 1120, thus shortly after they became a "thing". They were great allies to Dom Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal (crowned in 1128) because, amongst other reasons, of the family ties with his father, Count Henry, of the Royal House of Burgundy, and were instrumental in the formation of the Kingdom of Portugal, where they were awarded substantial areas in the newly-formed kingdom. Secondly, by the time the first voyages of discoveries had started, in the early-1400s, the Order of the Temple had already been absorbed into the newly-formed "Ordem de Cristo" or Order of Christ, created by King Dinis of Portugal, a century earlier. The greatest instigator of those first voyages, Prince Henry the Navigator, was at the time the Grand-Master of that Order. Thus, as you can see, the Templars had been in Portugal long before the Age of Discovery had even started, and they were not a "foreign" religious and military Order at that stage.
Indeed. The Portuguese were way ahead of their time in medieval times, I feel blessed being Brazilian and being able to share my culture with a little bit of portuguese influence
@@ebanydwayne4941" ... They couldn't keep it together [...]" What are you going on about?! The Portuguese had colonies in India (Goa, Daman, and Diu) until 1961; in Africa (Angola, Mozambique -- two huge areas of sub-Saharan Africa -- Guiné-Bissau, S.Tomé & Príncipe, and Cabo Verde) until 1975; in Indonesia (East-Timor) also until 1975; in China (Macau) until 1999... and Brasil -- a huge territory in South America -- until 1822, the year that bloody traitor, D. Pedro IV, (D. Pedro I of Brasil) sold us out by declaring Brasil independent, thus forfeiting all that Portugal had invested in that huge colony, a country that so many Brazilians like to refer to as an "Empire", when Brazil has never had an Empire but rather was part of the Portuguese Empire for more than 300 years, instead! Absolutely outrageous!! If you were right about what you wrote, ie, that "They couldn't keep it together [...]" it would have been about the fact that Portugal, simply because of demographics, did not have enough manpower to govern/control such a vast Empire -- a fact that its enemies took full advantage of! Plus, calamities such as 60 years of Spanish rule, which created the opportunities -- and the excuses -- for our enemies to attack our homeland and colonies, including Brazil; the French invasion, which was hugely costly to Portugal, in more ways than one, and caused the King, the Royal Family, and the whole Court to move to Brazil (or "to flee", as some of your compatriots shamefully like to say); the civil war, which pitched D. Pedro IV against his brother, D. Miguel -- and the whole country with them; the 1755 earthquake that devastated Lisbon and was extremely costly for the country (and look at the quality of the buildings that emerged after the earthquake if you were ever to visit Lisbon!); but above all, the 1910 republican coup d'état that triggered the decline of Portugal as a colonial power and as a nation, which the country is only recently and gradually emerging from! PS -- Concerning your previous comment " [...] with a little bit of portuguese influence": A little bit of Portuguese influence, you say?! You have over 200 million Portuguese speakers in Brasil, of which a vast number bear Portuguese names and surnames -- many of them direct descendants from the first colonists; you have a country that benefited enormously from Portuguese know-how which was responsible, at least partially, for Brazil's XIX century naval might, one of the world's greatest, at the time, until your very own late-1800s republican coup d'état; your economy benefited enormously, from the first century of independence onwards, from the countless coffee plants and sugarcane farms which the Portuguese introduced in Brazil; your beef, and dairy farms, many of them started by Portuguese families... and you call that "a little bit of portuguese influence"?!! How extraordinary!

2000% recommended! I uploaded my recordings at Quinta Da Regaleira to my own channel. We totally forgot the time of the day, and entered the dark tunnels to explore. By the time we were out from this dark labyrinth again, the park was closed. but we enjoyed the last hour with no tourists. btw, always carry a cellphone inside the dark labyrinth, because you will never be able to get out, without any flashlights..
@Evi1M4chine Maybe they do a final check around the place, or maybe they dont, but I guess we were out of the park too early in time to have the title "lost men in caves".
@@jmlmo35 lol Brasileiros sempre a chorar por esse ouro: ua-cam.com/video/02H_Q-znwzA/v-deo.html Esse ouro era nosso porque o Brasil ainda fazia parte de Portugal naquela altura.

Before Portugal become Disney for adults we could go anywere without crowds. When i was a kid i remeber visit that place in a school trip and we are the only people in there... Maybe its because i were a kid but thay place look way more magical deserted...
I don’t wanna be one of those comments, but holy crap, that whole mansion was for masonic meetings (for real) and it was magical. I remember years ago when I went to visit it, I was down that tower/well and I reached my hand to one of these little holes you can see in the wall with water. I did it twice. The first one it was empty, and seconds later, it was full all of sudden. I also cannot forget exploring the gardens and entering in a bifurcation on one of the hills; sitting on a bench inside, everything dark, you could only hear the soft drops coming out the lion-shaped wall fountain. Wow. p.s: sorry for my english, I was too excited writing this sdkskfkdkf
When J. Paul Getty opened his Museum of Antiquities in Malibu, Ca. in the seventies admission was no charge, BUT you had to mail in for tickets. That kept the feeling of being in a true Roman Villa and you could enjoy each room. He didn't want it to be an LA Museum day care centre for children dropped off, or crowds of people thinking they were at Disneyland. What would work at this site is if tours could be conducted by people versed in the cymablism, history, and nuances of the site. The place is incredible, though it DOES have that "Disneyland" feel to it!!!
I visited the site a few years ago and was completely enchanted. A fairytale place, you can spend hours in it. Shame I was not conscious of all that is said in the video so I didn't put so much attention to some details
I live near Sintra but never got the chance to visit this particular place even though I’ve always wanted to. Definitely will go there after everything eventually goes back to normal.
I had a recurring dream for years where I entered a random stairwell that went down into insanity. The hallways were like that of an underground psyche ward, with mad scientist, military, and government personnel types moving between the rooms which had double sided glass showing the experiments and "patients" from the hallways. There were heinous monstrosities, human torture/sacrifice, freakshows, demons etc... As I worked my way farther down into the installation, I started to realize that I was being chased by someone or something. I kept taking any door that was open, which all contained stairways reaching downwards. I eventually made it to a deep endless pit with rough cut stairs leading down, which looked just like this. The deeper I got, the older and more decrepit the stone and stairs. Eventually I ended up at least a mile under the surface, frantically scrambling down the Neverending stairwell into the depths of the darkest dungeon yiu could imagine. I would eventually come across a doorway out to the ground level, where a gorgeous mountaintop, peaceful meadow, envigorating waterfall, relaxing beach, or enchanting forest scene sprawled all around me. I returned to the recurring dreamscape for years before finally deciding to translate the dream on my own. I have never had it since, but wow this gives me the creeps at how close the feel is to that dream. I realized that I was running from myself, or my shadow self, to be specific. The dream was about depression, self sabatouge, and the potential depths of madness. Always at the bottom, was a light shining through a doorway leading me back up to peace and serenity. That light was Mother Nature and her healing power. I haven't thought of that dream for years. Thanks for reading.
There's an "inverted tower" from the 1500s in Orvieto in Umbria, Italy as well and it's called "Pozzo di San Patrizio": ua-cam.com/video/5TvXoxo2yUs/v-deo.html
Heeey. I remeber this tower from my dreams. I have never been there and now is the first time I see it. But I was walking on those stairs in my dreams in some sort of uniform with white gloves. Thank’s BBC for this video. It is as beautiful as I remember. ❤️
I guess it would have been really nice if these videos had commentary. It is difficult to read the text while you miss out the details they are referring to on the background.
Fun facts: 1. In real life the Assassins or Asāsiyyūn, who were a Nizari Isma'ili sect of Shia Islam, were sometimes allied with the Crusaders due to common goals. In fact, they actually spent most of their time fighting other Muslim sects and powers than targeting Christian Crusaders, which only happened around the Third Crusade. 2. The global seat of the current head and Imam of the Nizari Isma'ili Shia sect, the Aga Khan IV (Shāh Karĩm al-Ḥussaynĩ), is ironically situated in Lisbon, Portugal.
@@Microtherion While in the same time period of the 1450's when Portugal and Spain were fighting off the muslim Moors, Vlad III "Fiul de Dracula" was fighting the Turkish muslim Ottomans. He would have felt right at home with his distant Latin Christian brothers had history permitted so.
@@Plata-ori-plumbu No need to convince me, Unde, I was already a fan. Lol. I think Vlad was fighting for Romania first, and religion was probably a distant second, but he had the right attitude. He beat the Austro-Hungarians too. A strange man, but undeniably awesome...
Went there with college friends on a week day in 2005. No one to be seen. We could just do whatever by ourselves. We had never heard about it before and once we came back from our road trip around the country we told everyone this was the highlight of the trip. No one had any idea of what the hell we were talking about. Things have surely changed in 20 years and it's not just my hair falling down.
Walked up those stairs last year. So many selfies blocking my way to the top but I finally made it to find more people taking selfies

Já visitei❤️ tem tantos detalhes e recantos lindíssimos, valeu a pena conhecer e sentir a atmosfera mística de Sintra. Beijinho from Madeira Island :) O nosso belo país Portugal 🇵🇹
ngl thought you meant Frank Sinatra owned an inverted tower
mary smith lol I read that as Sinatra too
Me too
Umm great acoustics?lol
mary smith same here
Yup!
It's so nice to be able to see the video enjoying the images without having to look at the subtitles.
A linda vila de Sintra perto de Lisboa, a vila é admirável e tem quintas belissimas de visitar e a Quinta da Regaleira é um dos locais a visitar .
He has a hypnotic voice.
He's secretly a templar AND a mason (i'm kidding about the templar thing, but the masons are VERY active in Portugal, i wouldn't be surprised if he was one)
@@Vinnie_PT the guy is an historian, Sintra historian, and i know him, and i doubt he is in any sort of massonic dude, but he thinks hes really good when hes not tho lol
Кинта да Регалейра-удивительное место!!! Когда там находишься,мурашки по всему телу.

Sintra é tão fascinante e esta relíquia é de facto impressionante de ver ...eleva-nos a imaginação para a altura dos acontecimentos históricos e dos templários...É um legado cheio de memórias e faz parte do País com mais de 800 anos e do qual faz parte!!
"Homenagem à história de Portugal" - commendable how it's not a parking lot nowadays
I loved that the guide talks portuguesese, the original language of that place. That place looks AMAZING!
Fabulous tour with a private guide. So unusual and beautiful
Sem dúvida um dos sítios mais bonitos e misticos do nosso país se bem que na muitos outros
A capela dos ossos em Évora
O convento de Cristo em Tomar
Ruínas de cidades romanas em Lisboa
Castelos em todo o lado
Aconcelho a visita e obrigado pelos comentários faz me sentir orgulho por ser português 🙂
I am British but live in Andalusia Spain .i work i portugal alot .It's beautiful.The north is so green and stunning it's such a kept secret.lisbon and Porto my favorite Euro cities
isso tudo é mentira. Jesus é Deus, todo o resto é mentira
We were there in the 90’s and had the place to ourselves. A discovery by chance walk by. Will never forget it, to walk into this garden.
The path of rocks across the water is probably one of the most mesmerizing features
2000% recommended! I uploaded my recordings at Quinta Da Regaleira to my own channel.
We totally forgot the time of the day, and entered the dark tunnels to explore. By the time we were out from this dark labyrinth again, the park was closed. but we enjoyed the last hour with no tourists. btw, always carry a cellphone inside the dark labyrinth, because you will never be able to get out, without any flashlights..
@Evi1M4chine Maybe they do a final check around the place, or maybe they dont, but I guess we were out of the park too early in time to have the title "lost men in caves".
Viva Portugal 🇵🇹
Portugal Caralho
Cade nosso ouro portugal?
-brasil
@@luiseduardofontes33 Devolvemos o ouro, se nos devolverem o Brasil...
@@jmlmo35 jajajaajjaaj
@@jmlmo35 lol Brasileiros sempre a chorar por esse ouro: ua-cam.com/video/02H_Q-znwzA/v-deo.html
Esse ouro era nosso porque o Brasil ainda fazia parte de Portugal naquela altura. O mais perto que chegarão de recuperar esse ouro é voltarem a juntar-se a Portugal. Pelo menos assim eles podem dizer que também beneficiam dele.
Foi a melhor quinta que vesitei...lindo....
There’s an “inverted tower” like this somewhere in Italy as well, I went there a few years ago. Absolutely amazing structures for sure.
I have been there.
The rest of Sintra is beautiful too.
There's a similar structure in Orvieto, Italy called Pozzo di san Patrizio which dates back to the 16th century
Thanks for adding value to the comments Nicola leading me to something new to learn.
probably both constructors were Masons, hence the similarities :D
@Fart Squirrel well yes Thats what i was refering too , the ones who built it were probably Masons as well
The architect of many of the sites in that particular area was Italian.
Theres a place like that in EVERY place on Earth!! they now call themselves freemasons.
Before Portugal become Disney for adults we could go anywere without crowds. When i was a kid i remeber visit that place in a school trip and we are the only people in there... Maybe its because i were a kid but thay place look way more magical deserted...
The place is gorgeous and do have a magic sense to it with all the symbols!
Onde é que estão os "Portugal caralho!!"
Esta en el pueblo de SINTRA en Portugal
Portugal is fascinating!
I was there last year. Good memories.
I don’t wanna be one of those comments, but holy crap, that whole mansion was for masonic meetings (for real) and it was magical. I remember years ago when I went to visit it, I was down that tower/well and I reached my hand to one of these little holes you can see in the wall with water. I did it twice. The first one it was empty, and seconds later, it was full all of sudden. I also cannot forget exploring the gardens and entering in a bifurcation on one of the hills; sitting on a bench inside, everything dark, you could only hear the soft drops coming out the lion-shaped wall fountain. Wow.
p.s: sorry for my english, I was too excited writing this sdkskfkdkf
I have been there 3 times and I want to go back. Every time I find something new
Meus amigos me enviaram fotos desse lugar cheio de História e parques maravilhosos!
Sintra é muito bonita!
one of my list of places to visit
Been there on a school trip 2 years ago, I was completely enamoured by the whole place (much more than I was with Palácio da Pena honestly)
Loved my visit here especially during Covid days.
This is beautiful i hope I can see it for myself one day
I totally made the journey completely backwards, starting the chapel, then "walking on water" and ascending the spiral staircase!
The history of the land and its people has me far more interested tbh.
Sintra is gorgeous 👍👍❤❤
When J. Paul Getty opened his Museum of Antiquities in Malibu, Ca. in the seventies admission was no charge, BUT you had to mail in for tickets. That kept the feeling of being in a true Roman Villa and you could enjoy each room. He didn't want it to be an LA Museum day care centre for children dropped off, or crowds of people thinking they were at Disneyland. What would work at this site is if tours could be conducted by people versed in the cymablism, history, and nuances of the site. The place is incredible, though it DOES have that "Disneyland" feel to it!!!
When I visited it felt like a damn Dark Souls game. My favourite is the hidden alchemy lab on the roof
Que excelente voz tem esse senhor !... 🥰
Sintra holds so much magic ✨
I visited the site a few years ago and was completely enchanted. A fairytale place, you can spend hours in it. Shame I was not conscious of all that is said in the video so I didn't put so much attention to some details
This is what Annihilation Tower in my imagination
Video by Fernando and Izabela - brilliant!
Que lugar incrível!
I read "Santa's mysterious inverted tower" it definitely promised a much better story
I read SINATRA 🤭
@@coryhobbs5386 actually... I see quite a lot of logic in that. Sinatra, Elvis, JFK, surely there are some mysterious inverted towers for them
Looks amazing.
Sintra is just amazing 🥰🥰
I’ve read Annihilation, and I know not to trust mysterious inverted towers.
What u mean? I'm curious bro!
I was looking for a comment about Annihilation
ALL the thinking of the masons is "inverted"
He started talking about darkness and light and I was like NOP
Peter was crucified on an inverted cross
How fascinating. Such an unusual creative architectural idea this is.
Love this type of portuguese neomanueline achitecture (check the Buçaco Palace aswell) :( shame most of the country didnt followed it massively
Such a beautiful and unusual place.
The history is fascinating, as well.
I watched too much of THE WITCHER.
Same
I tied this to assassins creed xD
try playing the game or reading the books. the tv show doesnt do it justice
Same😂
@@kiranx12 Music, video and topic is Assassin's Creed but Sintra sounds like Cintra a city in The Witcher universe.
I live near Sintra but never got the chance to visit this particular place even though I’ve always wanted to.
Definitely will go there after everything eventually goes back to normal.
Excellent thanks for post
Omg I had memories of a small cave with lights and I could never remember were it was, now I do!
I love Portuguese architecture, beautiful like the young Portuguese women my heart would fawn over, many years ago.
I was there in 2017.Awesome place
I had a recurring dream for years where I entered a random stairwell that went down into insanity. The hallways were like that of an underground psyche ward, with mad scientist, military, and government personnel types moving between the rooms which had double sided glass showing the experiments and "patients" from the hallways. There were heinous monstrosities, human torture/sacrifice, freakshows, demons etc... As I worked my way farther down into the installation, I started to realize that I was being chased by someone or something. I kept taking any door that was open, which all contained stairways reaching downwards. I eventually made it to a deep endless pit with rough cut stairs leading down, which looked just like this. The deeper I got, the older and more decrepit the stone and stairs. Eventually I ended up at least a mile under the surface, frantically scrambling down the Neverending stairwell into the depths of the darkest dungeon yiu could imagine. I would eventually come across a doorway out to the ground level, where a gorgeous mountaintop, peaceful meadow, envigorating waterfall, relaxing beach, or enchanting forest scene sprawled all around me. I returned to the recurring dreamscape for years before finally deciding to translate the dream on my own. I have never had it since, but wow this gives me the creeps at how close the feel is to that dream. I realized that I was running from myself, or my shadow self, to be specific. The dream was about depression, self sabatouge, and the potential depths of madness. Always at the bottom, was a light shining through a doorway leading me back up to peace and serenity. That light was Mother Nature and her healing power. I haven't thought of that dream for years. Thanks for reading.
Could it be possible that u were one of the knights in your previous birth 🤔??
@@neoanderson4840 Or he just skip his schizophrenia meds😂
templar promotional video. That being said, lovely architecture indeed, and global contribution
Fantástico João Rodil ♥
Wow. I was just in Sinatra visiting the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle and didn’t even know this was there.
There's an "inverted tower" from the 1500s in Orvieto in Umbria, Italy as well and it's called "Pozzo di San Patrizio": ua-cam.com/video/5TvXoxo2yUs/v-deo.html
Incredibly interesting. Thank you
Heeey. I remeber this tower from my dreams. I have never been there and now is the first time I see it. But I was walking on those stairs in my dreams in some sort of uniform with white gloves. Thank’s BBC for this video. It is as beautiful as I remember. ❤️
What
Ben Jens what what?? I had a dream about this tower and now I saw it in video.
That sounds scary
The Portuguese army's ceremonial uniform has white gloves interesting
What a lunatic
I guess it would have been really nice if these videos had commentary. It is difficult to read the text while you miss out the details they are referring to on the background.
Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner.
Built around 10th century, amazing design and architecture! People of that time must be pretty advanced already.
I thought it was the Templar's building
The land was given to Knight s Templar but the Palace was built in the 19th century
joana dias oic. 😁
Made during Templar reign
ITS A TOWER
You need to go through darkness to reach light.
So it's an Assassin's Guild Tower.
Spoiler: No haystack at the bottom to fall into.
It's literally the opposite, it's Templar.
@@AleaRandomAm u can change Templar structures to assassin base's
@@AleaRandomAm ik i was talking about the game who would think mulims cam change a templar church in Portugal
Fun facts:
1. In real life the Assassins or Asāsiyyūn, who were a Nizari Isma'ili sect of Shia Islam, were sometimes allied with the Crusaders due to common goals. In fact, they actually spent most of their time fighting other Muslim sects and powers than targeting Christian Crusaders, which only happened around the Third Crusade.
2. The global seat of the current head and Imam of the Nizari Isma'ili Shia sect, the Aga Khan IV (Shāh Karĩm al-Ḥussaynĩ), is ironically situated in Lisbon, Portugal.
I love the art and the architecture. It is always a joy to explore what our imagination coupled with exceptional talent can accomplish. 🌺
This looks like something straight out of a Tomb Raider game. As a Romanian, I understood a lot of the Portuguese!
I think the mighty Draculea would have felt quite at home there, wouldn't he? :)
@@Microtherion While in the same time period of the 1450's when Portugal and Spain were fighting off the muslim Moors, Vlad III "Fiul de Dracula" was fighting the Turkish muslim Ottomans. He would have felt right at home with his distant Latin Christian brothers had history permitted so.
@@Plata-ori-plumbu No need to convince me, Unde, I was already a fan. Lol. I think Vlad was fighting for Romania first, and religion was probably a distant second, but he had the right attitude. He beat the Austro-Hungarians too. A strange man, but undeniably awesome...
@@Plata-ori-plumbu Portugal expelled the moors definitely from its territory in 1249.
The Spanish kingdoms took a little bit longer, mid 1400s.
@@Plata-ori-plumbu Fuil de Dracula in romanian (son of the dragon, I assume) = Filho do Dragao in portuguese.
The Latin/Romance family :D
That's my roots
miss my culture
Portugal 🙌🙌🙏🙏
Belíssimo sítio.
Lovely reminder of a visit I made a few years ago, plus interesting detail, thanks
I read Shinra mysterious inverted tower... I thought it's a part of ffvii remake footage
Went there with college friends on a week day in 2005. No one to be seen. We could just do whatever by ourselves. We had never heard about it before and once we came back from our road trip around the country we told everyone this was the highlight of the trip. No one had any idea of what the hell we were talking about. Things have surely changed in 20 years and it's not just my hair falling down.
