The Palace and its Gardens constitute a remarkable Monument which presents us a perception of the Royal Family daily life during the second half of the 18th century. It also represents moments of extraordinary historical importance in Portuguese History and Art, documented along the circuit.

The evolution of the Court taste throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, strongly influenced by French and Italian as well as English taste, is particularly presented in the Palace interiors and collections and also in the visit that we propose to its magnificent historical Gardens.

The Palace invites you to meet Portuguese cultural and natural heritage of an historical period that combines baroque, rocaille and neoclassical influences, whilst as an active institution it promotes knowledge, interpretation and fruition of this monument of great importance in Portuguese Patrimony, and offers a variety of options for entertaining, including evening receptions, dinners and concerts with a private view of the Palace, Gardens and collections.
