Museums and Palaces

The richness of the interior of the french style building at the beginning of the century by Joaquim Sotto Maior takes us back to the art of the joint use o metal, timber and plaster.

The different rooms provide us with ecstatic visions: crystal and bronze chandeliers, clocks, candlesticks, statues, and porcelain and convases of such famous artists as Dórdio Gomes, Joaquim Lopes and António Ramalho. Certain prices of furniture, the iluminating stained-glass window and the gardens surrounding this palatial home are also worthy of mention.

Besides being a museum, this eminently cultural spot also stages exhibitions, concerts, "Poetry in the Palace", fashion shows, talks, meetings and conferences.
