The Palácio da Fronteira, also known as the Palace of the Frontier, is a stunning baroque-style palace located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal.

Built in the 17th century, the palace was originally designed to be the residence of the Duke of Aveiro and later became the residence of the Portuguese royal family. Today, the Palácio da Fronteira serves as a museum and is open to the public, offering a unique glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Portuguese royal court.

Here your can admire the stunning architecture, intricate sculptures, and beautifully decorated rooms, including the grand ballroom and several opulent salons.

The palace is also surrounded by lush gardens, which provide a peaceful retreat from the busy city and offer stunning views of the River Tagus. The Palácio da Fronteira is a must-visit for anyone interested in Portuguese history and architecture, and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

Often the palace hosts weddings and other grand events where the palace i dressed up in flower decoration. It is alway a good idea to call them before visiting in weekends because of this.
