Quinta da Fidalga, Historic manor house in Arrentela, Portugal

The mansion features a chapel adorned with 18th-century Portuguese tiles, gardens with citrus trees, and multiple decorative fountains throughout the property.

The estate dates back to the 15th century when Paulo da Gama, brother of explorer Vasco da Gama, supervised the construction of caravels in this region.

The Manuel Cargaleiro Art Workshop, designed by architect Siza Vieira, opened in 2014 within the estate to promote contemporary art exhibitions.

Visitors can explore the grounds from Tuesday to Sunday, with summer hours from 10 AM to 7 PM and winter hours from 10 AM to 5 PM.

The property contains a rare tidal lake, representing a notable example of Portuguese hydraulic architecture with its functional iron well system.
