The Palace of Vila Viçosa was built in the 16th century, on the orders of King D. Jaime, the fourth Duke of Bragança. Designed with a Renaissance style, inspired by the Palace of Ribeira in Lisboa, at the end of the 16th century, new works were carried out by the Duke D. Teodósio II. The museum’s collection includes Portuguese furniture (17th and 18th centuries), Portuguese and Spanish tapestries (16th to 18th centuries), European and Oriental porcelain, together with a glazed earthenware and majolica dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, weapons from the 16th to 20th centuries and a collection of cars and carriages.
