Palácio do Conde da Azarujinha, 19th century palace in São Bento do Mato, Portugal.

The palace features a neoclassical two-story design with a ground floor and upper level, accompanied by a church, bandstand, and fountain structure.

The palace served as the General Headquarters for King Pedro IV's army, where the surrender document was drafted during the Portuguese Liberal Wars in 1834.

The estate bears the name of Count of Azarujinha, a noble title granted to António Augusto Dias de Freitas by King Carlos of Portugal in 1890.

Visitors can explore both the main building and its adjacent structures, including the church separated by a small street from the palace complex.

The Count divided his property into 200 small plots called courelas, with 90 in São Bento do Mato and others in São Miguel de Machede to increase local population.
