Explore the Forgotten Palaces of Lisbon

After having toured the inside of the palace, you will explore the garden, where one can wander among lakes, fountains and lead statues depicting mythological scenes. The highlight is the amazing "Canal dos Azulejos" (Tiled Ceramic Canal). Completely decorated with typical eighteenth century scenes, where the royal family used to ride a small boat enjoying themselves in sunny afternoons.

The next palace is located near Belem, in the “Ajuda” neighbourhood (Lisbon).
Although this palace was never completed as planned, it is still one of Europe's most amazing romantic buildings.
Its interior is richly filled with furniture, tapestries, sculptures and extravagant decorative arts, the result of unprecedented wealth in the 17th when diamonds were discovered in the then Portuguese colony of Brazil.
The most impressive are the enormous Throne Room corresponding to the entire south wing, and the Dining Room and its crystal chandeliers, silk-covered chairs, and allegory of the birth of King João VI on the ceiling.
You will note the interesting collection of dinner services that is one of the few European royal services to remain completely intact.
