Palácio Alverca

Casa do Alentejo is a former palace in Lisbon's Santo António neighborhood featuring a Moorish-style courtyard and multiple dining halls. The interior showcases traditional Portuguese tile decorations throughout, maintaining its historic spatial arrangement and architectural character.

The palace was constructed in the late 1600s and underwent significant renovations during the early 1900s. After these changes, it became the headquarters of an association focused on preserving southern regional culture.

The name refers to the southern Alentejo region, whose traditional culture remains alive in this space. Visitors experience the regional identity through folk performances and local customs that visitors can see happening throughout the building.

The restaurant operates on most days and serves regional specialties in a relaxed dining setting. Plan to spend time exploring the various rooms and halls, as the interior is spacious with multiple levels to navigate.

A simple green door at the entrance conceals a Moorish courtyard with a fountain hidden within the complex. This contrast between the plain street-facing facade and the hidden interior world makes the visit unexpectedly rewarding.
