Quinta da Bacalhoa, Renaissance palace in Azeitão, Portugal

The palace features four corner towers surrounding a central courtyard, with stone pyramids adorning its main entrance portal.

The construction of this aristocratic estate began around 1560, becoming a prominent example of Portuguese Renaissance architecture with Italian influences.

The interior rooms display intricate wooden ceilings, Roman-style doors, and walls covered in decorative majolica tiles depicting scenes from the Aeneid.

Located along National Road EN10 between Vila Fresca and Vila Nogueira de Azeitão, the palace now serves as a private venue for events.

A small lake near the building contains a temple structure at its center, surrounded by extensive gardens and trees.
