Historic Mansion in Lumiar. In the heart of the Portuguese capital, we find this majestic mansion, located in a gated community, whose unique dimensions and features transport us to a time when the elite of society strolled here, delighting in its stunning architecture and captivated by its exquisite green spaces. The D. Joao V Palace was thus named by the local population, believing it belonged to the aforementioned king. The belief that the mansion was the residence of King John V of Portugal derives primarily from the presence of the royal coat of arms on the rear facade of the main building and on the pavilion located by the lake, an idea reinforced by the presence, in the garden, of a Baroque tile bench from 1715, on which a gallant scene between King John V and Mother Paula of the Convent of Odivelas is depicted. Alongside the interior areas, the garden is also a strong selling point of this property. The idyllic setting, redesigned in 1970 by landscape architect Goncalo Ribeiro Telles, is filled with statues, fountains, and small lakes. The annexed rooms, such as the 19th-century hunting lodge designed in 1920 by Raul Lino, are richly decorated with exquisite tiles, similar to those in the main building. General Features.
