Belém National Palace

Constructed in the 18th century, Belém National Palace in Lisbon has served as a residence for Portugal’s monarchs and now stands as the official presidential residence. The pink-hued complex, situated along the banks of the Tagus River, comprises five buildings and is surrounded by well-manicured gardens. Visitors can explore the Presidency Museum, which delves into the history of the Portuguese Republic, offering a glimpse into the nation’s rich past. The palace’s riverside location and historical significance make it a notable stop for those interested in Portugal’s political and cultural heritage.
