Sintra Natioanal Palace The gothic styled Palácio Nacional de Sintra is situated in the heart of Sintra and was the most lived in royal residence, being continual used from the 15th century up until the fall of the monarchy in 1910. This is the palace that king Afonso VI (1650s) was imprisoned during his later life, as he was deemed, by his brother, too unstable to rule the country. The minimalistic gothic exterior is dominated by the two huge chimneys that rise out from the kitchens while the interior includes decoratively painted rooms that reflect the extensive history of the palace. The most famous of these rooms is the magpie room, which has paintings of magpies representing the gossiping and scheming of the queen’s ladies in-waiting. As the National Palace is in the centre of town it is usually combined with exploring the historic centre of Sintra with its numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. The entrance fee is €10.00 and can get busy during the middle of the day. The Entrance Fee: Nearly 10 € 2.

  • Luís Miguel Brito Nyelv Világ
    16 LUÍS MIGUEL BRITO Intercultural interpretation discourses, techniques and strategies used by tour guides in the Coach Museum, Lisbon: Eight issues LUÍS MIGUEL BRITO Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril The Coach Museum in Lisbon houses one of the finest collections of coaches in the world. It is the second most visited museum in Portugal and it is often included in the Lisbon city tour. Tourist guides often perform visits to the museum. They are mediators between heritage and tourists, involving them not only in the collection but also in the life of the people who used the coaches. A guided tour to the museum can be either a nightmare or nice dream. It will be a nightmare if the guide conveys uninteresting information about the objects and vehicles exhibited, if s/he is centred on him/herself. But it can also be very lively and interesting if interpretation strategies are centred around the tourist and his/her culture. The aim of intercultural interpretation is to awaken different kinds of emotions in the tourist, from piety to amusement, using fantasy and reality. This paper discusses the different characteristics tourist guides’ interpretation assumes in Lisbon’s Coach Museum. The researcher heard the speech of fifty professional guides visiting the museum, during the months of September and October 2009. Data obtained were included in his PhD thesis. The anthropological technique applied is direct observation, defined as “direct involvement of the field researcher with the social group studied, within the parameters of the group standards” (Iturra, 1987: 149). The paper is divided into the following parts: introduction (including tourist information versus intercultural heritage interpretation, methodology, interpretation- eight issues, and final considerations.

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.
