Palácio do Duque de Palmela
The palace, built on the site of the former Fort of Our Lady of the Conception, was acquired in 1868 by the Dukes of Palmela with the intention of constructing a summer residence there. The project is by the English architect Thomas Henry Wyatt. This building, of English revivalist architecture, is clad in stonework. On the main façade, above the door, the Coat of Arms of the Duchess of Palmela's family can be seen.
