Join the Host Committee for a wonderful dinner at this neo-classical palace, built in the first half of the 19th century and was chosen as the residence for the Portuguese royal family when Luís I (1838–1889) became king and married a Portuguese princess, Maria Pia of Savoy (1847–1911).
It is a typical example of a 19th century royal residence and has an important collection of decorative art (gold and silver ware, paintings, sculpture, furniture, tapestries, glassware, porcelain, etc).
The Ajuda National Palace is often the site of official ceremonies and solemn acts of the Presidency of the Republic.
