SINTRA – QUINTA DA REGALEIRA – GUIDED TOUR Located at the historic center of Sintra, classified as a World Heritage Centre by UNESCO, Quinta da Regaleira is a place with a mind of its own. Built in the early twentieth century, based on Romantic ideals, this fascinating set of buildings, rising abruptly in the middle of dense forest, is the result of the realization of the mythical dreams of its owner, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920), who called upon the talent of the Italian architect-set designer, Luigi Manini (1848-1936). The imagination of these two unusual personalities conceived, in one hand, the revivalist sum of the most varied artistic trends – with particular emphasis on the Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance – and, on the other hand, the glorification of a national history influenced by mythical and esoteric traditions. Quinta da Regaleira is a place to feel and discover, to contemplate the garden’s and building’s scenery, to admire the Palace of Monteiro, “the Millionaire,” a truly philosophical mansion of alchemical inspiration, to walk though the exotic park, and feel the Christian spirituality in the Holy Trinity Chapel, where you are permitted to descend into the crypt and poignantly recall the symbolism and presence of the Beyond. There is also an amazing set of turrets that offers us breathtaking landscapes, fascinating views born of legend and saudade (a Portuguese word with no translation, meaning “to miss something”), palatial villas of exquisite taste, and terraces arranged for the appreciation of the Heavenly world. To culminate the visit to Quinta da Regaleira, it is necessary to invoke the Templar knight’s adventure or the ideals of the Freemasonry’s masters and descend into the monumental well by the huge spiral staircase. Down there, with our feet on an eight-pointed star, it’s as if we’ve been immersed in Mother Earth’s womb. Then, all we have left to do is to cross the darkness of the labyrinthine caves until we regain the light, reflected in the amazing lakes. The tour is guided by a Quinta da Regaleira’s professional, accredited guide in English and includes a visit to the gardens and to the numerous edifications. Groups of 30 people maximum. SINTRA – FREE WALK THROUGH THE VILLAGE AND LUNCH After the visit to Quinta da Regaleira, the participants, with the help of a previously prepared guide along with the village map, will receive information and tips of what to visit in Sintra’s historic center, classified as a World Heritage Centre by UNESCO, as well as suggestions of places to have lunch. According to the selected program – Culture and Patrimony or Active – you will also receive information about the meeting point for the visits/activities in the afternoon.

Aos avós, pelo apoio e pelo orgulho. Ao Bruno, pela ajuda preciosa, pelo apoio e pela disponibilidade. I RESUMO A Paisagem Cultural de Sintra, classificada em 1995 pela UNESCO como Património Mundial, representa o testemunho de uma simbiose única entre a Natureza e o Homem. O microclima específico e o coberto vegetal exuberante conferem à Serra de Sintra o espírito bucólico que promoveu, desde há muito, a sua ocupação por diferentes culturas: dos vestígios Neolíticos, a Suntria medieval; dos conventos e ermitérios espalhados pela solidão da Serra, ao estabelecimento da Corte e de nobres nas suas quintas de recreio, dispostas harmoniosamente por entre maciços graníticos e a luxuriante vegetação trazida de várias partes do mundo. A Paisagem de Sintra construiu-se sob influências artísticas e literárias, sendo hoje inclusivamente considerada como uma referência da expressão do Romantismo, que influenciou a Europa dos séculos XVIII e XIX.

Scenographic Interventions in Portuguese Romantic Architecture ABSTRACT When Kant established the noumenon1 as the limit of knowledge in his Critique of Judgment, he set off a reaction among the most distinguished philosophers of the infinite: Fischte, Schilling, and Hegel. This consciousness of the infinite and its analysis through the feeling of the sublime was the basis of all European Romanticism, as well as of the artistic currents that flowed from it. Although the theme of the sublime has been studied since Longinus, it was Hegel who extended the concept through the analysis of space and time in his The Philosophy of Nature, because nature as de-termination2 of the idea necessarily falls in space and time.3 Consequently, the artistic achievement of that era could only be a figurative representation of the sublime and the integration of all arts in a whole with the purpose of awakening the feeling of Gesamtkunstwerk.

He strongly questioned some approaches to knowledge and paved the way for trade with India. Following his achievements, Lisbon enjoyed a time of great prosperity that came to a sudden end following the disastrous earthquake in 1755. What we experience as an impressive city image today, especially the Baixa, was created in the 18th century. Only the Torre de Belém still reminds us of the time of great sailors and their untiring spirit of discovery. Of course, the time of individual explorations is long past, but the urge for new knowledge has remained unchanged. Today, it is a great number of people who work on the front lines with curiosity, diligence and persistence to bring about progress. They have come to Lisbon as well, to make new discoveries by sharing scientific and practical approaches. Not only in lectures, workshops and discussions but also in dialogues with industry, at the Oertli booth for example. Discover the total range of cataract and posterior segment surgical platforms, the latest functions of the OS4 device, an amazingly simple MIGS method and the new FEELceps line, or simply discover the friendliness and competence of our employees at booth no P263.
