Tucked away in the tranquil outskirts of Lisbon, the Palace of the Marquesses of Fronteira is one of Portugal’s most beautiful and least-crowded treasures. Built in the 17th century, this privately-owned palace offers a rare glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Portuguese nobility.

What makes it truly special? The magnificent azulejos (blue tiles) that adorn nearly every surface — telling stories of battles, mythology, and everyday life in intricate detail. The Garden of the Kings, with its perfectly manicured hedges and statues, feels like stepping into a royal dream.

Inside, the palace is a work of art — filled with tapestries, antique furniture, and painted ceilings. But it’s the peaceful gardens, reflective pools, and tile-covered arcades that make this spot unforgettable.

📍 Location: Largo São Domingos de Benfica 1, Lisbon, Portugal
🌟 Tip: Guided tours are available on weekdays — book ahead for access to the palace interior!
