Visited Pena Palace yesterday, walking up through the town of Sintra and then through the wooded palace park to get there. The view from the top was amazing, but I was even more transfixed by this stained glass window. Hard to show the level of detail in a photo, but it was pretty bonkers.

Visited Pena Palace yesterday where I found this intricate stained glass window in a chapel. If you look over the king’s shoulder you’ll see the palace itself in the distance. If you squint, you can see an arched window. That’s this window! The art contains a depiction of itself, ad infinitum.
