What a great find for a wonderfully textured composition. Great contrast and detail. I would've liked to see a description of the location and the building history. I'm intrigued!

@Kelela: These arcades are on the back of the Sintra National Palace. It is a former royal palace with an interesting mixture of Mudejar, Manueline and Renaissance architecture. Many thanks for stopping by and comment.

It is an intriguing photo, I agree. I like the colours and textures. Cool composition.

@Namaki: Hi, Namaki! As I said to Kelela this picture was taken at Sintra National Palace which is now one of the most visited portuguese monuments. Many thanks for your comment.

Very nice - very old arcades. Are they still in use ?. Great shot.

@Observing: Hi Mike! The arcades are a part of Sintra National Palace. Now, is just a national monument, one of the most visited in Portugal. Thank you very much for your comment.
