Quinta da Regaleira, an Occult Palace

[Paul Ferguson]

"At first glance, this appears to be a typical Catholic chapel. However, like the rest of the estate, it is replete with occult secrets. The chapel is made of three levels (underground, ground level, and above ground) which is meant to represent the three levels of the Axis Mundi  (the underworld, earth, and heaven). Atop the chapel is a tower-like sculpture that represents an “alchemical furnace”, also known as athanor."
