The Quinta da Ribafria (Ribafria Estate) is situated close to Sintra in Lisbon District, Portugal. It was built from 1536 to 1541 by Gaspar Gonçalves, a ceremonial official of the Portuguese Royal Household (the "Porteiro-mor" who was responsible for opening the door for visitors to enter the room where the king was), on land donated to him by King Manuel I in 1515. The property is now owned by the Sintra Municipality.[1]
