Palácio Quintela, Neoclassical palace in Misericórdia, Portugal.

The palace features a grand staircase that divides into two paths, with five sections separated by pilasters and decorated windows on the main facade.

The Quintela Palace was built in the late 18th century on the site of the former Vimioso Counts residence, which was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake.

The noble floor contains decorative elements by artist António Manuel da Fonseca and stucco work by Félix Salla, representing Portuguese artistic excellence.

The palace houses a dining and entertainment venue at Rua do Alecrim 70, combining historical architecture with modern gastronomy.

General Junot, the French military commander, established his headquarters in this palace during the 1807 invasion of Portugal.
