Penafiel Palace, Administrative palace in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.
The palace exhibits an L-shaped layout with northern and eastern wings, featuring granite cornerstones and decorated windows across multiple floors.
Built in the first half of the 17th century, the palace served as the residence for the postmaster-general from 1606 until 1755.
The interior displays monochromatic azulejo tiles throughout its rooms, reflecting traditional Portuguese architectural decoration methods.
The building currently functions as the global headquarters for the Community of Portuguese Language Countries since 2011.
Two stone angels and the coat-of-arms of the Counts of Penafiel, topped with a crown, adorn the main elevation of the structure.
