The Quinta da Regaleira is one of the most well-known palaces in Sintra, which are strange and mysterious in itself, but today we are going to tell you about the perfect well with a secret from which the light comes, some people call it a light well then some even call it black magic and witchcraft well. Its enigmatic features and stunning fusion of architectural styles are the most striking features.

Underground Tunnels Four tunnels are built from the bottom of the well to the grottoes and a second well. The walls of these tunnels have pink and brown undertones. They represent the transition from death to resurrection, and the road from darkness (ignorance) to light (enlightenment), and they appear to bring together various elements of the fantastical world. This well was not constructed for the purpose of collecting water. Instead, these mysterious tower wells were used for confidential initiation sacraments.
