Description
Magnificent palace in Lumiar.
It is in the heart of the Portuguese capital, that we find this majestic mansion, whose unique dimensions and characteristics transport us to the time when the cream of society strolled there, delighting in its stunning architecture and being captivated by the exquisite green spaces.
The Palacete D. Joao V was thus baptized by the local population, believing that it belonged to that king. The belief that the palace was the residence of D. Joao V de Portugal stems mainly from the presence of royal arms on the rear facade of the main building and in the pavilion located by the lake, an idea that is reinforced by the existence, in the garden, of a bench in baroque tiles, from 1715, in which a gallant scene between D. Joao V and Madre Paula, from the Convent of Odivelas is represented.
In parallel with the interior areas, the garden is also an important argument for this property. The idyllic setting, rethought in 1970 by landscape architect Goncalo Ribeiro Telles, is full of statues, fountains and small lakes. The outbuildings, such as the hunting pavilion with nineteenth-century features designed in 1920 by Raul Lino, are richly decorated with exquisite tiles, similar to what happens in the main building.
