Palácio dos Capitães-Generais
Palácio dos Capitães-Generais, Palace and cultural heritage site in Sé, Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal.
The Palace features notable architectural elements including gilded woodwork, traditional Portuguese tiles, and life-sized oil portraits of Braganza monarchs throughout its rooms.
Established in 1572 as a Jesuit college, the building transformed into a palace in 1766 when Marquês de Pombal designated Angra as the administrative center.
The Room of Kings contains ten large oil paintings depicting Portuguese monarchs from the House of Braganza, representing centuries of royal leadership.
Visitors can access guided tours Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with information available at the reception desk in multiple languages.
The palace served twice as a royal residence, first for King Pedro IV in 1832 and later for King Carlos I in 1901.
