Henriques Palace, Royal palace in Alcáçovas, Portugal
The palace complex includes a main building, traditional gardens, and the Capela de Nossa Senhora da Conceição chapel near Republic Square.
King Denis ordered the construction of this palace in the late 13th century on the site of a former castle as a royal residence.
The palace houses exhibitions dedicated to cowbell crafting, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.
The restored building functions as a cultural center with the Tomás Ribas auditorium, tourist office, and three exhibition rooms for visitors.
The Treaty of Alcáçovas, signed at this palace in 1479, established the first global division of territories between two nations.
