Galveias Palace, Public library in Avenidas Novas, Lisbon, Portugal.
The Galveias Palace library occupies a U-shaped 17th-century building with reading rooms, study spaces, and gardens in central Lisbon.
Built as a country house for the Marquis of Távora, the palace was confiscated by the Crown in 1759 and later acquired by the Count of Galveias in 1801.
The library functions as a center for learning with reading rooms, literary events, theater performances, cinema screenings, and diverse cultural activities.
The library opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00, with Monday hours from 13:00 to 19:00, and provides wireless internet access throughout the building.
During the Estado Novo period, the library stored censored books behind blue nylon tape, with catalog cards marked specifically as censored materials.
