Palace and Convent

Maximum exponent of the Neo-Manuelino style, it is, for every reason, the centre of the attentions inside Bussaco's Forest.
Built by the end of the XIX Century, it occupied some of the space previously belonging to the "Carmelitas Descalços" (Barefeet Carmelites) convent.

Of the convent, it remains today only the church and the cloisters, as well as the cell where Lord Wellington slept the day before the Battle of 1810.
