About the Place
Built at the end of the 17th century, this palace has had many lives. It has a quadrangular plan with three patios and straddles two sections of the old city walls (Muralha Fernandina). The exotic interior contrasts with the discreet façade. Highlights include the Arab Patio, the Hall of Mirrors, the Neo-Renaissance Hall, the library and the restaurant’s tile panels. In 1919, it became the Majestic Club casino and underwent profound changes to create a revivalist atmosphere with contributions from artists. Grémio Alentejano took over in 1932 and finally bought the palace in 1981. The Grémio occupied a central place in the culture and social life of the migrant community from the Alentejo region.
