The palace features irregular rectangular layout with multiple floors, decorated windows, gargoyles, protruding eaves, and porches near the Atlantic Ocean.

The palace collection includes national paintings, international artworks, period furniture, porcelain, jewelry, and a neo-Gothic organ from the early 20th century.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available at Avenida Rei Humberto II de Itália in Cascais.

The palace contains the Chronicle of Don Afonso Henriques manuscript from 1505, decorated with miniatures by António d'Ollanda on its prologue page.
