Casa da Prelada, 18th century mansion in Ramalde, Portugal
Casa da Prelada features three connected buildings with granite windows, stone balconies, and a decorated main portal displaying the family coat of arms.
Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni designed the mansion in 1754 for the Noronha and Menezes family, though construction remained incomplete at the time.
The mansion now houses historical archives and functions as a cultural center, hosting various events including book launches and film screenings.
The mansion and its gardens are open to the public without an entrance fee, allowing visitors to explore the historical architecture and landscaped grounds.
The property contains one of the largest boxwood labyrinths in the Iberian Peninsula, complemented by lakes, fruit orchards, and Japanese camellias.
