Quinta da Regaleira

This site looks ancient but it's actually a 20th Century villa that was constructed in the early 1900s.

The aesthetic harkens back to a much earlier age with its stonework mimicking old castles of the region and extensive layout filled with unique (and sometimes hidden) features.

This spiral staircase on the site descends into "The Initiation Well," a structure nearly ninety feet deep with no clear purpose. The number of esoteric and alchemical symbols incorporated into the Quinta inspires speculation that this, and other areas, may have been used for occult practices.

At the base, where you see the pink compass, you come to a cave with a series of tunnels that lead out of the space...eventually.

Does anyone wanna hear of my awesome and totally dangerous adventure through this touristic spot?

Ofc ya want, and even if you don't you're clearly mistaken and therefore I'll share the pictures anyways

First, context.

Went to Sintra, this small village near Lisboa. It's a historical city, with lots of monuments ranging from all periods of history. But most importantly, it's surrounded by the Sintra mountain, a densely wooded area. Mix the unique views, stories and the whole range of architectural styles, it's easy to understand why people place in it an aura of mystery and magic.

So I went there but in specific to Quinta da Regaleira, a old villa built in between late XIXth and early XXth centuries by a rich dude who was a massive fan of everything occult. So he commissioned his gardens to be filled to the brim with strange places, symbolic structures and whatever symbols you could add. It worked, this place is heavily connected to the freemasons and other similar groups.

Fanatismo dá-me bué comichão, parece que está tudo tolo, credo. Keep it in your pants, coragem tua por teres que aturar isto tudo daily. Tens feito visitas estes dias LMAO? Os visitantes dizem alguma coisa?

Só comecei hoje, tirei três dias que claramente não foram suficientes. Mas já na segunda precisei de ir a Regaleira e apanhei esta merda na quinta, tanto que a fila pro poço iniciático era de uma hora...

Tive clientes genuinamente chateados. Os de manhã foram muito boa onda e compreensivos, os da tarde já não hesitaram em mostrar que estavam chateados. Foram compreensivos também até porque estávamos todos na mesma onda e ninguém gostava do que se estava a passar, mas o que os irritou é que à pala desta merda há imensos locais fechados. As igrejas estão quase todas fechadas, só abrem pra missa e pra eventos especiais pro peregrinos. Belém só o mosteiro está aberto. Então vieram cá apanhar moscas com a boca

Epa e depois queixam se do caos, porque isto não é a mesma coisa que um concerto. Estavam miúdos no Rossio ao lado do McDonald's sentados no chao a mamar saladas da caixa directamente no alcatrão. Estaba malta a fazer farnel no chão no meio da praça, no meio da rua, a impedir gente de passar. Passam a vida aos berros a cantar e não se calam três segundos. Já armaram confusão várias vezes que só ali em São Domingos a bófia foi chamada várias vezes

Mesmo agora acabei de ver um vídeo de um palhaço a cagar no meio das plantas da AVENIDA DA LIBERDADE, meu. Literalmente calças pra baixo e cu ao léu, ali a arrear o calhau à frente de toda a gente. Nem limpou o cu, nojento do caralho.

O Moedas é um estúpido do caralho que veio com palhaçadas acerca disto alimentar o turismo, tá a alimentar o pipi da tia dele. Estes putos não ficaram em um unico hotel, não estão sequer a ir a restaurantes ou cafés. Estão a fazer farnel no meio da rua com merdas compradas no pingo doce que é obrigado a estar aberto 24h pra lamber o cu ao papa. Estão a injectar perto de 0 no país. Literalmente a contribuir com nada. E k turista ve isso. Muitos vieram agora em agosto porque agosto é o mes menos movimentado da época alta e levaram com esta merda, e nem sequer podem visitar nada.

Vou partir a boca ao Moedas, juro

I will be visiting Lisbon soon! What are the things you consider totally definitely must do/must see?

Sorry if this is too straightforward I’m just so lost planning what should be at the top of the list!

Try to enjoy the city, having a meal in Time Out market, walking on the narrow streets of Alfama, taking a drink at night in Barrio Alto. One of the most famous spot is Castelo de Sao Jorge, in my opinion not worth to visit, however the view from the old castle is breathtaking, such as from the top of the Cristo Cristo Rei, wich is located on the other side of Tagus. Also there, in Cachilas you can find a variety of good and cheap retaurant for a nice dinner. If the weather allows, Costa Caparica offers a whole day fun with its sandy beaches, bars, and the crystal clear sea. Cascais can be a good destination for a one-day trip, if you like the seafood I would recommend the restaurant inside the market hall. Worth to visit Sintra as well. There are several castels and palaces, the most famous is the Pena Castle, but we love the garden of Quinta Regaleira and Monserrat too. If you can afford to rent a tuk tuk, you can visit more than one of them in one day. In Sintra you should try the restaurant called Infame, never disappointed us.

Quinta da Regaleira y Pozo de la Iniciación

[mypepemateosus]

Palacio en Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra, cerca de Lisboa, Portugal.

[callmeanxietygirl]

Este pozo nunca fue construido para almacenar agua, sino para fines ceremoniales secretos. El lugar está lleno de símbolos de temática esotérica y todo guarda relación con la alquimia, las ciencias ocultas, la astrología, el esoterismo, la masonería, los templarios y la rosacruz. Está en pleno centro histórico de Sintra - Potugal. ⁣

⁣

Carvalho Monteiro, un millonario apasionado de las ordenes secretas, ayudado por el escenógrafo italiano Luigi Manini construyó La Quinta da Regaleira, que a lo largo de cuatro hectáreas contiene un palacio, una capilla, lujosos jardines, lagos, grutas, edificios enigmáticos, cascadas escondidas, fuentes simbólicas, túneles secretos y un pozo iniciático. ⁣

⁣

El pozo es una torre invertida con la cruz de la orden de Cristo al fondo que nos habla de la influencia del templarismo en el ideario sincrético de Carvalho Monteiro.⁣

⁣

El propósito de este pozo-torre invertida de 27 metros, fueron las ceremonias iniciaticas masónicas que representaban el tránsito desde la muerte (el fondo del pozo), a la reencarnación, (la salida) o el llegar al conocimiento desde la ignorancia subiendo a la luz desde las profundidades de la tierra.

¿Vas a subir la torre invertida o la vas a bajar?

Nueve rellanos separados por 15 peldaños con referencias a la Divina Comedia de Dante, representan los nueve círculos del infierno, los del paraíso o los del purgatorio. Hay también 23 nichos ubicados bajo los peldaños del pozo iniciático. Todo tiene significado en numerología masónica.

⁣

¿Te imaginas figuras cubiertas con capas y portando antorchas subiendo por las escaleras del pozo siguiendo un rito ancestral? ⁣

En el fondo de esta torre invertida aparece otro pozo inacabado, representando esotéricamente que si desciendes los escalones en lugar de subirlos, podría ser un mensaje alegórico de lo que implica recorrer el camino contrario a la luz. ¡Y los turistas los suelen descender!

Tip: Accede a través del Portal dos Guardianes, dos tritones vigilan este acceso que representan la conexión del mundo exterior con el inframundo.
