A magical place full of mysteries and symbolism!
Built in the early 20th century, it belonged to António Carvalho Monteiro, a millionaire passionate about esotericism. The palace is beautiful, in Neomanuelin style, with many symbolic details linked to Masonry, Alchemy and Templars. The gardens are a truly enchanted maze, filled with caves, lakes, secret tunnels and towers.
The highlight is the Initiatic Well — a spiral staircase that goes underground, wrapped in mysticism and symbolism. It’s a place where everything has a hidden meaning — perfect for those who like to explore and imagine stories.
