Palacio Nacional e Jardins de Queluz
See one of the last representatives of Rococo buildings in Europe, a summer retreat for Dom Pedro of Braganza, king consort to Queen Maria I. It was somewhat a safe place for the Queen as she has been going mad since her husband died in 1786.

Palacio Nacional de Mafra
Then we move to the epoque of Baroque style. In this palace you will see one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. This palace was built because King John V promised to build a palace for his wife if she gives him an offspring.
It was mostly used as a secondary residence due to its location next to the royal hunting preservers. The building is considered to be one of the largest royal palaces in the world and was designed by the German architect João Frederico Ludovice

Palacio Nacional da Ajuda
The third palace you are to visit is a neoclassical building. It survived several natural disasters such as tsunami and earthquake. The palace was designed by architect Manuel Caetano de Sousa, who planned a late Baroque-Rococo building, but then José da Costa e Silva and Francisco Xavier Fabri decided it to be a neoclassical one. It was the official royal residence to King Luis I and his wife, Maria Pia of Savoy
