You mixed the information about the 2 royal palaces in Sintra...
please, check your data and correct it.
The Royal Palace With the 2 big chemneys was really a medieval palace inherited from the moorish invarders.
King Fernando built a pivate royal palace that used to be a small monastery up high in the mountain, in the Serra. Than, he draw is romantic dream palace (like is cousin in Bavaria) and started the construction.. Since the XVIII.th century noone as built anything at older palace at the Vila center...

Lisbon is neither dangerous or dirty. Well, you have to watch your wallet, but this you should do everywhere.

I was surprised how clean this beautiful city is. Its my favourity city and people are so hospitable and friendly. I will always go back - have a taste at the cakes (Nata).

Fantastic Sintra Palace. Great place for taking photos.

But until you get there, you will discover how dirty and how dangerous Lisbon really is.
Still, I think the city is one of Europe's oldest cultural capitals and has plenty to offer.
