Built in the fifteenth century and rebuilt in the twentieth, it now displays tapestries, furniture and objects that illustrate the life of the nobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A palace of the Braganzas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace was built in the fifteenth century for Afonso, first Duke of Braganza, on a scale that reflected the wealth of the family. It was abandoned for centuries and stood in ruins until the twentieth century, when it was rebuilt and furnished as a museum and, for a time, as an official residence. Today it belongs to the state and forms part of the historic centre of Guimar\u00e3es, listed by UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The central courtyard and the palace&#8217;s monumental rooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flemish tapestries, furniture and ceramics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arms and armour, and objects of the Portuguese nobility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The nearby castle of Guimar\u00e3es and the Romanesque church of S\u00e3o Miguel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the palace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The palace is at Rua Conde D.
