The palace was built in the XVII century in the Rococo style. He served as the summer residence of the Portuguese king Pedro II. Later, the building was used to accommodate dignitaries. Today, classical concerts are held on the territory of the palace. Particular attention is drawn to the luxurious Throne and Music Halls, as well as the magnificent and lavishly decorated royal chambers.

Very beautiful palace and gardens and best of all, there was barely anyone there. I went to almost all of Lisbon’s must see list but this one is definitely towards the top. Would recommend for a peaceful and beautiful day out.

A portuguese jewel! I was not expecting it. The last time i was there it was very damaged. Now almost everything was restored.
It had almost no tourists and it's an outstanding place to visit, mixing the palace and its beautiful gardens!
