Royal Palace of Nazare

Royal Palace of Nazare

Built in 1718, the Royal Palace of Nazare served to welcome the Royal Family during the visits of Kings, Queens and Princes to the  Nossa Sehora da Nazare Sanctuary.

There are records confirming the stay of D. João VI accompanied by his sons, D. Pedro and D. Miguel and his mother Rainha D. Maria I.

In addition, the Royal Palace of Nazare has been established over the years as a place of accommodation for pilgrims.

Owned by the Confraria de Nossa Senhora da Nazare, due to its advanced state of deterioration, remodeling works have been underway with a view to returning to a place of accommodation.

The architecture of the ancient Palace deserves a careful visit and its historical importance is given special attention.

Built at the Sítio da Nazare, near the Nossa Senhora da Nazare Sanctuary, when you contemplate this unique example of the heritage alluding to the Royal Family, you can also take the opportunity to contemplate the Memória Chapel, the Chaby Pinheiro Theater, the Dr. Joaquim Manso Museum or even the bandstand and the remains of the Muralha do Sítio, not to mention the magnificent views offered by the Soberco Viewpoint and the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo.

You can also take the opportunity to “take a walk” the Lifts or enjoy the good weather and opt for a walk along the Ladeira.
