Casa Grande de Romarigães, Manor house and chapel in Romarigães, Portugal.

The Casa Grande de Romarigães includes a main building with rural annexes and the Chapel of Amparo, featuring a decorated Baroque facade.

This noble residence from the 19th century served as home to Portuguese President Bernardino Machado and writer Aquilino Ribeiro during different periods.

The building gained recognition through Aquilino Ribeiro's 1957 novel that shares its name, documenting the social dynamics of rural Portugal.

The renovated complex functions as a literary center with three distinct visiting areas, including a writing room equipped with blackboards and typewriters.

The Chapel of Amparo displays an ornate facade with niches containing religious figures, volutes, pediments, and a distinctive telescope design.
