Quinta das Lagrimas is the place where the 15th Century Prince Pedro and Ines de Castro lived when forbidden to love each other. Legend has it this is the last place that Ines cried and she stabbed by the killers sent by King Afonso and that her tears of blood still cover the rocks of the stone fountain that came about because of all the tears shed hence the name Quinta das Lagrimas (Estate of tears).
