Omschrijving
The 'Quinta Senhorial dos Cerveira' with an area of 46.510 m2, is located in the Bairrada region, in Beira Litoral, between Coimbra and Aveiro. The property possesses a manor house with a total area of 838 m2, consisting of four floors, built at the end of the 18th century in the 'pombaline' style, which was designed by the famous sculptor Joaquim Machado de Castro, given the friendly relationship with the Cerveira family.
Rectangular building with a small chapel on the right and a monumental portal on the left. Facades of three floors with architraved body and upper entablature (constituted by frieze and cornice) and double pilasters. On the noble facade, six barred windows and a central door framed by stonework open onto the ground floor. The chapel has a straight lintel portal with a small niche above the lintel, decoration in a single interrupted row with simple scrolls, topped by a false bell tower with semicircular finial. Inside the chapel, the foundational altarpiece by Joao de Ruao stands out, with blind side niches, patterned tiles and vaulted ceiling. The classification includes the sculptural group of Sao Cosme and Sao Damiao, from the late 18th century.
Rectangular plan composed by a rectangular building, a small longitudinal chapel attached to the right and a monumental portal on the left, which gives access to the back and in the sequence of which annexed constructions without architectural value are erected. Articulated volumes with differentiated roofs in gable roofs. Facades of three floors - ground floor, first floor and attic - marked horizontally by an architraved body and an upper entablature (constituted by a frieze and cornice) and vertically, by double pilasters that accentuate the central elevated vertical panel. If the architectural mouldings are summarised in the posterior and anterior facades, ending in the cornices, the upper floor extends them by the cruciform plan. On the noble facade, seven openings open onto the ground floor - six barred windows and a central door - framed by stonework, as on the second floor, but here the three central openings are joined by a balcony with a triple entrance. To the top, at the line of the emblematic heraldry, attic rooflights in cruciform plan with a smaller side to the side elevations and with a central balcony between two side openings, with small lateral buttresses. To the left, the portal with crowning gives access to the archivolved side porch and to the previous facade, more discreet but standing out the staircase entrance facing the forest. To the right, the chapel with rectangular facade, straight lintel portal with small niche over the lintel, decoration in interrupted single line with simple windings, topped by a false bell tower with semicircular finial. The INTERIOR is organized by a central division in cross, with two archivolts arches, axial to the road, and lateral staircase to the upper floor. In turn, in the chapel, foundational altarpiece with lateral blind niches, patterned tiles and cradle vaulted ceiling. In the stone altarpiece, two corinthian pilasters, decorated with grutesco motifs, frame the two central niches with sculptures of round figures, divided by a baluster column, with an arched upper finish and a predela with three niches with statuary in bas-relief.
