FUNDAÇÃO DAS CASAS DE FRONTEIRA E ALORNA

Sala Palácio Fronteira

VISITING

THE PALACE

The Fronteira Palace is one of the most beautiful Lisbon monuments from the 17th century. It is an old recreation farm that maintains a very close format to its original design. It holds the biggest in situ tile collection of that time period – tiles that were always kept in the same place they were designed for. Although it is a National Monument and functions as a museum, the Fronteira Palace is still inhabited by the descendants of Dom João Mascarenhas, the 1st Marquis of Fronteira, who ordered the construction of this house. This is one of the many charms of this place, that makes it alive and gives it such a special atmosphere.
Openning hours Monday to Friday at 10am, 11.30am, 1pm, 2.30pm and 4pm in English; at 10.30am, 12pm, 1.30pm, 3pm and 4.30pm in French; at 11am and 3.30pm in Spanish; at 12.30pm and 5pm in Portuguese. Saturdays and last Sunday of each month only the guided tours in the morning (last one at 1.30pm) All the tours to the inside of the Palace are guided and include the gardens.
