About the Place
Palácio Fronteira is one of Lisbon’s finest 17th-century monuments, originally conceived as a leisure estate and preserved today in a form very close to its original design. It houses the largest collection of azulejos from this period still in their intended setting. The dining room is located in the Sala dos Painéis, originally designed as a music room, richly decorated with Dutch tile panels lining the walls, depicting mythological, pastoral and hunting scenes, while the ceiling features painted landscapes. Although classified as a National Monument and open as a museum, the palace remains a private residence, still inhabited by the descendants of Dom João de Mascarenhas, the first Marquis of Fronteira, who commissioned the main building.
