What To Expect

Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz (Pass By)

The Palácio Nacional de Queluz it's a palace of the XVIII century. It is one of the last large buildings in Rococo style erected in Europe, also marked by Baroque and Neoclassicism. The construction of the Palace began in 1747, with the architect Mateus Vicente de Oliveira. The palace was built as a summer retreat for D. Pedro de Bragança and Queen D. Maria I of Portugal. It served as a discreet place of incarceration for the Queen while her madness grew worse. In 1908 it became the property of the State and after a serious fire in 1934 the Palace was extensively restored. One of the wings of the Queluz Palace, the Pavilhão de Dona Maria, built between 1785 and 1792, is today an exclusive guest room fo foreign heads of state visiting Portugal.

Park and National Palace of Pena

The Palacio Nacional da Pena represents one of the main expressions of XIX century architectural Romanticism in the world.

After his death, the Palace became Portuguese national heritage, integrating the Crown's heritage. With the establishment of the Portuguese Republic, the palace was converted into a museum.

Parque e Palacio de Monserrate (Pass By)

The Palácio de Monserrate is a palatial village, the traditional summer resort of the Portuguese court. Dom Afonso Henriques built two chapels dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Our Lady of Monserrate. In the XVII century, possession of the property was taken by the Mello e Castro family, but after the 1755 earthquake, the farm became uninhabitable. An English merchant named Gerard de Visme rented the property in 1789 and built a neo-Gothic house on the ruins of the chapel. In 1793-1794 the property was rented by William Thomas Beckford, who began designing a garden. Although the property was still in ruins when Lord Byron visited it in 1809, its magnificent appearance inspired the poet, who mentioned the beauty of Monserrate in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, which drew the attention of tourists. Francis Cook purchased the property in 1863 and began restoring the ruins of the house built by Gerard. The palace became the Cook family's summer residence.
