The Palace of the Marquises of Fronteira, a 17th-century mansion in Lisbon, stands as one of Portugal’s best-preserved estates. Nestled within its walls, visitors can explore the meticulously landscaped gardens and admire the intricate traditional Portuguese tiles, known as azulejos. The palace, still privately owned, has been passed down through generations of Portuguese aristocrats, maintaining its historical charm. Today, guests can wander through the lush gardens and marvel at the vibrant, detailed tilework that adorns the walls, offering a glimpse into the country’s rich artistic heritage.
