Palácio dos Condes da Ponte, 18th century palace in Alcântara, Portugal.

The rectangular palace features a main facade with two floors divided by stone pilasters and basket-handle arches leading to an interior atrium.

The palace belonged to wealthy merchant Teodósio Gonçalves da Silva in 1786 and became subject of a dispute with the Count of Santiago de Beduído.

The building contains a notable ceramic tile panel signed by Gabriel del Barco from 1697, depicting a female figure representing the month of March.

The palace now houses the Carris Museum, which opened on January 12, 1999, presenting the history of Lisbon's public transportation system.

The ground level of the palace underwent elevation modifications to accommodate the installation of iron rails for the transportation company.
