Palácio da Mitra, aqueduto, pombais, chafarizes, igreja, monumental portão de entrada e toda a área murada da antiga quinta, Palace complex in Santo Antão e São Julião do Tojal, Portugal

The Archbishop's Palace features a U-shaped design with a grand entrance gate, decorated with figurative tiles and stone columns throughout the structure.

Built in the 18th century under Patriarch D. Tomás de Almeida, the palace served as accommodation for King João V during his visits to Mafra.

The palace interior displays life-sized male figures wearing 18th-century attire and contains numerous decorative tile panels depicting historical scenes.

Since 1948, the palace houses Casa do Gaiato institution, and visitors need to schedule appointments to tour the premises.

The palace complex includes a two-kilometer aqueduct supported by 90 arches, which transported water from Pinteus springs to the monumental fountain.
