Ajuda Palace was the official residence of the Portuguese monarchy, in the first years of the 19th century. Its construction began in 1802 but has not yet been completed. The Palace was closed after the proclamation of the Republic in 1910 and reopened to the public in 1968 as a Museum and it is still used today, for special events, by the Presidency of the Republic.
Mafra Palace and Convent built in the 18th Century by the order of King João V in fulfillment of a vow he made to be blessed with an heir. The building was made in limestone and marble of the region and has 1.200 rooms, more than 4.700 doors and windows, 156 stairways, 29 inner yards and courtyards, and an amazing library with 36.000 volumes. It’s considered the most important baroque monument in the country.
Located in ‘Praça do Comércio’ it is one of the largest squares in Europe and for many centuries the main entrance to the city of Lisbon. To reach the downtown you’ll have to pass under the Rua Augusta Triumphal Arch and walk-up the street. Currently, the square is used for cultural events, New year’s eve, and music concerts.
