Palace of São João Novo
Palace of São João Novo, Manor house in Morro da Vitoria, Portugal
The Palace of São João Novo exhibits symmetrical design with a central staircase connecting three floors through multiple expansive granite-built halls.
Construction of this baroque residence began in 1727 under architect Pedro Costa Lima, with western expansions added during the nineteenth century.
The building housed the Museum of Ethnology from 1945 to 1992, displaying regional artifacts and recreating traditional Portuguese environments.
The palace stands near Capela de Nossa Senhora do Ó and the Port Wine Institute, making it part of a concentrated area of architectural sites.
A major fire in 1984 affected the museum directorate offices, leading to substantial modifications in the building's internal structure.
