<p>Au 8<sup>e</sup> siècle, les <strong>Maures</strong> règnent sur la région de Sintra. Ils construisent un premier château, une forteresse perchée au sommet des collines. En 1147, <strong>lors de</strong> la reconquête chrétienne, Dom Afonso Henriques reprend Sintra aux Maures et occupe le palais.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>En 1385, le roi Jean I<sup>er</sup> ordonne la reconstruction complète du palais. Au début du 16<sup>e</sup> siècle, le roi Manuel I<sup>er</sup> effectue des travaux de <strong>rénovation</strong> et d’extension.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>La famille royale utilise le palais jusqu’en 1880. En 1910, à la proclamation de la république, le palais <strong>devient</strong> un monument national.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Aujourd’hui, les visiteurs peuvent explorer ses <strong>murailles</strong>, ses <strong>tours de guet</strong> et profiter de vues panoramiques sur l’océan Atlantique et la belle ville de Sintra.
