Palace or Paço dos Arcos located in Paço de Arcos, the town to which it was named, in the municipality of Oeiras and district of Lisbon, it was built at the end of the 15th century by Antão Martins Homem, nobleman of the Casa dos Infantes and 2nd donate captain from Vila da Praia (Azores), on the grounds of a large existing farm.
The original house, almost entirely destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, was rebuilt in the same 18th century, now featuring a façade similar to the current one, with two turrets flanking a central body with a veranda based on three round arches. According to local tradition, this palace and its arches gave the name to the town of Paço de Arcos.
From its balcony, facing the Tagus River, it is said that King D. Manuel I watched the departure of ships for India on several occasions.
The Majorgadio de Paço de Arcos, headquartered in the palace, was created in 1698 by D. Teresa Eufrásia de Meneses, its owner at the time, and thus inherited by the Lords of Alcáçovas and successive descendants, from the Lencastre and Saldanha to the Counts of Arrochela , whose heirs sold the use of the building to the Municipality of Oeiras in 2001.
The current building, with an L-shaped plan, is marked by the aforementioned southeast façade with arches, flanked by two pentagonal turrets that frame a central body on the ground floor with three round arches supporting a balcony-terrace with iron railing that still displays the coat of arms of the Lencastre and Saldanha.
The main access is via the opposite façade, opened by a portal with a straight lintel topped by a bay window.
The built-up area of the palace includes a chapel dedicated from the beginning to Nossa Senhora do Rosário, facing the central courtyard of the palace. It is opened by a portal with a straight lintel under a triangular gable, and preserves a baroque marble altarpiece with pseudo-Solomonic columns.
The property still retains its beautiful terraced gardens, a forest and an agricultural area, with some single-story houses, stables, a well, an irrigation tank and a fresco house decorated with Chinese porcelain embrechados.
The Municipality of Oeiras decided to transform the Palácio dos Arcos into a hotel unit, so work was carried out to recover the building and gardens.
