Have you seen any tower which is in inverted condition !!!!!!.
It
is not due to any disaster, but a wonderful architecture of our
ancients. This wonder is situated in Sintra, Portugal.An underground
tunnel with a spiral staircase, supported by carved
columns, down to the bottom of the well through nine landings. The nine
hole round landings, separated by fifteen steps.
The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners through time.
But in 1892 it belonged to the Barons of Regaleira, a family of rich
merchants from Porto, when it was purchased that year by Carvalho
Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro wished to build a bewildering place
where he could gather symbols that would reflect his interests and
ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini,
he designed the 4-hectare estate with its enigmatic buildings, believed
to hide symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and
the Rosicrucians. The architecture of the estate evokes Roman, Gothic,
Renaissance and Manueline architectural styles. The construction of the
current estate commenced in 1904 and most of it was concluded by 1910.
You can have look at some awesome pictures!!!!!!
