Palácio do Correio-Mor, Baroque castle in Loures, Portugal.
The palace follows a U-shaped layout with a central courtyard, featuring two floors decorated with azulejos, stucco works, and detailed paintings throughout its structure.
The property dates back to 1606 when King Philip III of Spain granted Luís Gomes de Elvas Coronel the title of High-Courier and the estate became home to postal services.
The palace interiors display intricate azulejo works depicting various themes from noble life, reflecting Portuguese architectural and decorative traditions of the period.
The palace requires extensive repairs and maintenance, with many interior spaces currently utilized for storage purposes under state management.
During the Liberal Wars of 1833, the palace served as a medical shelter for injured soldiers, temporarily transforming from a noble residence into a wartime hospital.
