Beau-Séjour Palace, Art Nouveau manor house in São Domingos de Benfica, Portugal.

The Beau-Séjour Palace features decorative azulejo tiles on its facades, semi-circular bay windows, and French-style formal gardens with reflecting pools and metal bridges.

Construction of the palace began in 1849 when D. Ermelinda Allen de Almeida purchased the Quinta das Louras estate and transformed it into an aristocratic residence.

The Golden Hall contains a large tapestry by Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro, while the interior spaces display ceiling paintings and decorative stuccos from Portuguese artists.

The palace now houses the Gabinete de Estudos Olisiponenses, a research center dedicated to Lisbon studies, with a library and archive in the basement.

The palace grounds include a miniature Romantic garden system with reflecting pools and small islands connected by metal bridges, integrating nature with architectural elements.
