Solar dos Magalhães, Manor house in São Gonçalo, Portugal

The Solar dos Magalhães features a polygonal layout across two floors with a main facade displaying six arches in the loggia and Ionic columns.

The manor house suffered extensive damage during the 1809 French invasion, with only its exterior walls remaining after attacks by Napoleon's troops.

The building represents Portuguese rural nobility architecture with its regular window arrangement, including chest windows on the lower floor and balcony windows above.

Located near the Amarante train station above Rua Cândido dos Reis, the structure currently exists as remaining walls awaiting transformation into a Memory House.

The property belonged to the Magalhães and Meneses family, who later received titles of Counts of Alvelos and Counts of Vilas Boas.

Location: Amarante (São Gonçalo), Madalena, Cepelos e Gatão
