Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, Medieval stately home in Oliveira, Portugal
The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza exhibits architectural elements of French manor houses, with cylindrical chimneys and steep rooflines covering its stone structure.
Construction began in the early 15th century under Afonso de Barcelos, the first Duke of Braganza and illegitimate son of King João I of Portugal.
The palace museum displays four large tapestry reproductions depicting Portuguese conquests in North Africa, alongside collections of 17th-century furniture and ancient weapons.
The palace offers accessible routes throughout the building, multilingual information displays, and specialized reception areas for visitors with mobility requirements.
Located at Rua Conde Dom Henrique, this northern European-influenced palace stands as the sole example of its architectural style in the Iberian Peninsula.
