https://www.portugalresident.com/pena-palace-the-triton-gateway/ Photograph taken by me in Sintra shows tge ornate sculpted Triton Gate at tge Pena Palace. The full description of this piece can be found on this website, written by Jay Costa ...Commissioned by Fernando II who was an avid painter and drawer and always carried a sketch book in his pocket. He was the one who envisioned the Triton Gate, an archway located on the Palace’s terrace. Mythologically speaking, in Ancient Greece, Triton was a Greek god of the sea, the son of Poseidon himself. He is often depicted as a merman, with the upper body of a man and the bottom half of a fish, and he is accompanied by a conch shell which he would use as a trumpet either to calm or agitate the sea. It is said that Triton’s shell was so loud and crude that all beings believed it to be the roar of a hellish wild beast.

This entrance has the whimsical look of the palace. It’s like no place I’ve been before in that it feels like a precursor to Disneyland, but it is a real 19th century royal palace. The late 19th and early 20th century history of this palace and the royal family of Portugal is a bit dizzying, but interesting. Check it out on Wikipedia, and make a donation while you’re there 😊

Here’s something for today’s #PalacesandGardens #gate prompt. There must be doors that make this a gate, right?

This gate provides entrance into that weird ( can I call it weird?) Portuguese tourist stop, #PenaPalace in the pretty mountain retreat of #Sintra

Am I a photographer? No, but I do take some of my own photos for reference and inspiration. While on vacation I definitely took several photos I plan to work from in the near future.
