The Manor of Visconde de Almendra, Manor of the Viscounts of the Bath or Casa de Almendra, is a Baroque manor house or palace that housed, for many years, the Viscounts of Almendra and, by marriage, the Viscounts of Bath. The palatial building, a happy example of 18th-century architecture in the Portuguese interior, is located in Almendra, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa.
It has been classified as a Property of Public Interest since 1977.
Testimony of the experiences of many generations of illustrious nobles, she was the last inhabitant of the manor Márcia Augusta de Castilho Falcão Mendonça de Morais Sarmento, youngest daughter of the 3rd Viscount of the Bath. Currently, the Almendra Palace belongs to the heirs of Márcia Augusta.
The palace, a two-story building, retains its austere Baroque style, which is revealed in the “rocaille” windows, with the typical inverted scallop shells, and the striking balcony with balusters. The coat of arms of the illustrious family, framed by a curved pediment, remains above the veranda. Interestingly, the coat of arms was never properly sculpted, although the Colonel de Marquês is evident.
Today it is a historic landmark in the town of Almendra, along with the Cruzeiro and the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Campo, among other monuments. Some green flowerbeds frame the front facade of the building.
