Description
With origins dating back to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this extraordinary estate in Carnide, just a few minutes from the centre of Lisbon, is a spacious and elegant palace, full of historical and aesthetic charm, which offers immense potential for restoration or adaptive reuse. With large grounds and richly adorned structures, the property reflects the splendour of its time, combining architectural refinement with a unique artistic craftsmanship. It is a living testimony to Portugal's rich cultural heritage.
On the southern edge of the property, there is a garden wall with an independent entrance, framed in stonework and finished with a straight cornice. To the north, another stone portal leads to the inner courtyard, also adorned with a cornice. Next to this courtyard is an annex with separate entrance to the street. The main building stands out for the exterior staircases at the ends, which lead to the upper floor, decorated with tiles in shades of blue and white.
The south and west facades, once connected by a wide balcony, now partially removed, are embellished by tile panels depicting mythological figures, similar to those on the ground floor. The garden, in turn, boasts tile panels that narrate whimsical and picturesque scenes, with characters inspired by the Commedia dell'Arte. These charming compositions give the property a timeless elegance and a fascinating narrative touch.
The tiles of the well date from 1747, although the decorative panels of the noble rooms on the main floor, with ornamental and figurative motifs, are probably earlier.
More than a historical gem, this property is an invitation to a visionary investment. Its size, decorative richness and privileged location make it ideal for a wide variety of uses, from a luxury private residence to a cultural or hospitality space. This palace in Carnide is an exceptional example of Portugal's architectural and artistic legacy, waiting to be revitalised for future generations.
