The oldest castle in Portugal was built by King Ferdinand II in 1842. It was built on the ruins of a monastery that was destroyed during a earthquake that happened in 1755. Built in the Romanticism style, the colors or red and yellow have been restored to their glory. The Pena National Palace is one of Portugal's most visited castles.
