Abstract
Abstract The National Palace of Sintra, the summer residence of the kings and queens of Portugal, underwent important transformations during the reign of Manuel I of Portugal (1495–1521). These changes significantly affected the water infrastructure of the building. Among numerous tanks and fountains, a very early 16th-century grotto was constructed. Its existence has gone unnoticed as it was completely refurbished during the 18th century. Nevertheless, it was described by a contemporary Spanish traveller. In this essay, we would like to present the original documentary and morphological details of the so-called Gruta dos Banhos and vindicate its role in the history of grottoes.
摘要辛特拉国家宫是葡萄牙国王和王后的夏季住所,在葡萄牙曼努埃尔一世统治期间(1495-1521)经历了重要的改造。这些变化严重影响了建筑物的供水基础设施。在众多的水池和喷泉中,建造了一个16世纪早期的石窟。它的存在已经被忽视,因为它在18世纪被彻底翻新。然而,它是由一位当代西班牙旅行者描述的。在这篇文章中,我们想介绍所谓的Gruta dos Banhos的原始文献和形态细节,并证明它在石窟史上的作用。
