The Monserrate Palace (Portuguese: Palácio de Monserrate) is an exotic palatial villa located near Sintra, Portugal, the traditional summer resort of the Portuguese court. It was built in 1858 for Sir Francis Cook, an English baronet created visconde de Monserrate by King Luís. Monserrate turned to an English architect, James Knowles Jr., for designs. Though its Moghul-inspired details are unique in Portugal, its eclecticism is a fine example of the Sintra Romanticism. (5 years and 3040 days ago)

You need to tell us what it is and where it is.

A bit too much grassy knoll in front, diminishes the focal point. I'd crop some of that excess away, to make the palace more dominant in the image.
