Sometimes referred to as the Portuguese Versailles, there are many highlights in the Queluz Palace. These include the mirrored Throne room with its chandeliers, still used for state banquets, and the adjacent Music room where the Queen’s orchestra was once acclaimed one of the best in Europe. The Don Quixote bedroom, with its domed ceiling, exotic wood floor and Don Quixote scenes by Manuel de Costa is spectacular. Pedro IV was born here, and died here after returning from Brazil. The Ambassador room’s trompe l’oeil ceiling shows the royal family at a concert. The chapel has exquisite gilt woodwork.
