Situated on the banks of the Portuguese Riviera, Park and Palace of Monserrate is a palatial villa used as the traditional summer resort of the Portuguese court.

Renowned British architect, James Thomas Knowles, began working on the eclectic architectural structure in 1863; prior to that the site was said to house a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Visitors love learning about Monserrate’s history and taking in design aspects such as the Mudejar Moorish Revival architecture and Neo-Gothic elements.

Afterwards, take a walk around the surrounding park which is filled with grottoes, fountains, lakes, and springs. You’ll also see tons of trees and plants like tree ferns from New Zealand and yuccas from Mexico in the flourishing gardens.
