Poço Iniciático da Quinta da Regaleira

Localizado na Quinta da Regaleira, e composto por um conjunto de galerias subterrâneas, este poço tem este nome porque aqui tinham lugar os rituais de iniciação à maçonaria. A escadaria é constituída por nove patamares separados por lanços de 15 degraus cada um, invocando referências à Divina Comédia de Dante. Diz-se ainda que terá inspirado J.K. Rowling, a autora da saga Harry Potter.
