Royal residence of two generations of monarchs, only fifteen minutes away from Lisbon, the National Palace of Queluz is intimately linked with significant figures in Portuguese history. Today it constitutes a major heritage site in Portuguese architecture and landscaping, and contains an important collection which reflects royal taste during the eighteenth and nineteenth century - from Baroque, through Rococo, to Neoclassicism.

The palace is one of the most beautiful in Portugal. A beautiful palace located between Lisbon and Sintra. Built in 1747 by the future D. Pedro III, spouse of D. Maria I, the Queluz Palace was initially conceived as a summer residence, becoming a privileged place of rest and entertainment for the royal family, which permanently settled in 1794 until his departure to Brazil in 1807 after the French invasions. Very rich interiors. Inside, there are important art collections that reflect the style of the court from the 17th to the 19th century, in baroque, rococo and neoclassical styles. A place of undeniable beauty and historical value. You can take pictures and film inside. An attraction not much appreciated . We were alone in some parts of the palace. Huge space and wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful gardens that allow a very pleasant walk. Peace and quiet above all, no crowds. A must visit, impressive.
