The palace features extensive gardens adorned with Portuguese tiles, fountains, and hedges shaped to represent the four seasons across 5.5 hectares of land.
Built between 1670 and 1673 for João Mascarenhas, the first Marquis of Fronteira, as recognition for his loyalty during the Portuguese Restoration War.
