(1430-1654) - House of Bragança
(1654-1750) - Casa do Infantado, founded by King D. João IV
(1758-1761) - José Borges de Brito (it was linked to a chapel in the Amora Church founded by Cosme Antunes in 1593)
(17??-1829) Infanta D. Maria Francisca Benedita de Bragança, daughter of D. José I and sister of D. Maria I
(1829-1836) - Hospital for Military Invalids of Runa
(1836-1876) - Infanta D. Isabel Maria de Bragança, daughter of D. João VI and Queen Carlota Joaquina
(1876-1877) - College of the English Missionaries of St. Peter and St. Paul
(1877-1889) - Infante D. Augusto de Bragança, Duke of Coimbra, son of D. Maria II
(1889-1909) - D. Afonso Duque do Porto, son of King D. Luís and brother of D. Carlos I
(1909-1911) - Queen D. Maria Pia of Savoia and Bragança
(1911-1932) - D. Manuel II, last king of Portugal, Duke of Bragança
(1932-1942) - Queen D. Amélia of France and Bragança
(1942-2006) - D. Ana de Jesus, great-granddaughter of Infanta D. Ana Maria de Bragança and her heirs
(2006 -?) - Eng.° Ribeiro Ferreira and his heirs.
Architectural ensemble
The built heritage of Quinta da Princesa consists of an architectural complex, including the manor house, used for rest and hunting by nobles and nobles.
The chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição and the attached facilities, typical of an agricultural farm of its importance, also form part of the same complex.
This farm, in the middle of the 20th century, had two wine presses, an aqueduct and two large irrigation tanks in full operation.
For the cattle there was a cellar, corral, stables and pigsties. There was also a threshing floor and a barn.
A group of low houses, the cardosa, served as shelter and residence for rural workers, who migrated here from Beira Litoral, the "Caramelos".
The overseer's or caretaker's house stood out on the first floor.
In addition to diversified cereals, vines, olive trees and citrus fruits, many other agricultural crops were grown, including: potatoes, peas, broad beans, beans, chickpeas, melons, vegetables and various vegetables or even lupins and peanuts.
Today, much of this agricultural activity has ceased, however, important testimonies of one of the largest, most beautiful and aristocratic farms on the South Bank of the Tagus remain.
Most of the still existing buildings are from the 18th century (1747), however, this farm has undergone works, additions and renovations over the centuries, including the last ones, which were carried out in the middle of the 20th century, by Mr. Eng. Ribeiro Ferreira and his wife, Mrs. D. Ana de Jesus.
