The Masonic Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra. The well contains nine platforms, which are said to be reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.

A fascinating place and very photogenic although quite difficult to shoot due to the contrasting light. Best suited to high ISOs and an overcast day!
