Palácio do Freixo, Baroque palace in Campanhã, Porto, Portugal
The rectangular palace consists of three floors with decorated facades, balconies, and ornate staircases facing the Douro River from its eastern location.
Nicolau Nasoni designed the palace in the mid-18th century for Canon Jerónimo de Távora before it changed ownership to industrialist António Afonso Velado in 1850.
The interior of the palace contains preserved mural paintings framed by decorative moldings, representing Portuguese artistic traditions from the 1700s.
The palace functions as a luxury hotel operated by Grupo Pestana, offering accommodations and event spaces while maintaining its status as a National Monument.
A former soap factory and mill building with a tall chimney stand next to the palace, creating an architectural contrast between industrial and baroque structures.
