Palace of the Marquis of Pombal, 18th-century noble residence in Oeiras e São Julião da Barra, Portugal.

The palace combines Portuguese architectural elements with Baroque and Rococo styles, featuring decorated windows, curved stone staircases, and a symmetrical facade layout.

Hungarian architect Carlos Mardel designed this residence in the 1750s for Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, who later became the Marquis of Pombal.

The gardens contain the Poets Cascade, decorated with busts of notable writers like Camões and Virgil, representing Portuguese and classical literature.

The palace and its gardens maintain regular visiting hours since 2015, allowing visitors to explore the interior rooms and outdoor spaces throughout the year.

The property included vineyards that produced Carcavelos wine, with some original wine cellars still present in the estate complex.
