The tiled, colorful, Arab-influenced, Romantic and exoctic Pena National Palace, located in Sintra, Portugal is a UNESCO World Heritage and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal (of which I have visited three. Hooray!).
Pena Palace with its colorful tiled exterior and elaborately rounded archways, should be easily identified as being influenced by Islamic architecture and Portugal's Moorish invasion, circa the year 711 and beyond.
Being a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal, I think visiting the town of Sintra, PT and its many historically rich and diverse sites should definitely be on your to-do list. I am very glad it was on mine.
