Palácio do Marquês de Abrantes, 18th-century palace in Estrela, Portugal
The Marquês de Abrantes Palace displays neoclassical architecture with ornamental details and grand facades on Santos Street in Lisbon.
The palace grounds originally housed a monastery of the Military Order of Santiago in the 12th century before King Manuel I built the Royal Palace of Santos in 1501.
The building currently houses both the French Embassy and the French Institute of Portugal, serving as a center for French-Portuguese diplomatic relations.
The palace underwent extensive renovations between 1980 and 1982 under architect Gonçalo Sousa Byrne to accommodate modern diplomatic functions.
King Sebastian had his final meal in the palace gardens overlooking the Tagus River before departing for the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in 1578.
