Palácio Vila Flor, Palace in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.

The palace features carved stone entrances along Costa do Castelo street and displays architectural elements from both 17th and 18th centuries.

The palace obtained its name Vila Flor when the last counts of Vila Flor purchased the property at the beginning of the 20th century.

The palace chapel contained an image of Nossa Senhora do Ameixial, connecting the building to the Battles of Restoration period.

The palace remains a protected municipal heritage asset within the Mouraria neighborhood and stands as a testament to Portuguese aristocratic architecture.

Professor Tomás de Mello Breyner, Count of Mafra, documented his birth at this palace and included stories about tea ceremonies in his memoirs.
