One of Lisbon's Attractions - Ajuda Palace
Ajuda Palace (Palácio Nacional da Ajuda) was once the royal palace of King Louis I of Portugal. After the establishment of the Portuguese First Republic in 1910, the palace was nationalized and didn't reopen as a museum until 1968. To this day, the Portuguese government still holds official ceremonies and functions at Ajuda Palace. The palace consists of 2 floors and 30 rooms. The first floor mainly houses private spaces for the royal family, including a music room, the queen's bedroom, dining room, and reception rooms. The second floor is dedicated to state affairs, featuring the king's office, the queen's portrait hall, the ambassador's reception hall, the throne room, the banquet hall, and King Louis I's bedroom, among others. The museum's collection primarily focuses on decorative art pieces from the 15th to the 20th century. Important collections include goldware, jewelry, ceramics, textiles, and furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries. It's really worth a visit; its charm is sure to captivate you.
