The current Palace, with an exotic Oriental plan, was built from an 18th century building that imitated a medieval castle. A possession of the Mello e Castro family, it was rented to Gerard DeVisme at the end of the 18th century, who bulit a neogothic manor. In 1856 it was acquired by Francis Cook, who built a new Oriental palace, with revivalist motifs, a true testimony to the romantic architecture. He also ordered the plantation of the Moserrate Park, that combines exotic and local plants, currently an important botanical museum. Nowadays, one may only visit the gardens.
An exceptional romatic architecture monument with a lush park that has about 200 há, currently a heritage of great international interest. Built where there used to be a 16th century convent, almost the entire manor stands on huge rocks and mixes several different styles (neo-gothic, neo-manuelin, neo-moorish, neo-renaissance, etc.). It has an adaptation of the window of the Convent of Christ in Tomar, as well as the remarkeble figure of the Triton. Inside, a special note to the magnificent stuccos, trompe l'oeil mural paintings and several 19th century tiles.
Located at the "casa do gerador", in the Regaleira Farm, this space features the collection donated by the sculptress to the Sintra's Town Hall. It has sculptures, tapestries, medals and ink drawings.
