National Palace of Sintra

 After visiting Portugal, I did extensive rewrites of the kitchens in The Lady's Pirate. They are not typical English kitchens, they're so much more! More open because of the heat in a far more southern country. Check out the combination oven and stove. The countertop/bench along the fires is made of clay, which conducts the heat. The tiles keep it all together. So they put the pots on the bench over the fires for things like broths and such, and then the square holes are for breads. There's also a spit which was ginormous!
