Located in Lisbon, the Palacio de Santos French Embassy in Portugal is one of the city's most beautiful and important palaces. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries by the Lancastrian family, the site has seen a number of events, including the earthquake of 1755. Long reserved for ceremonies and diplomatic affairs, this Baroque-style palace, built on the site of a former convent, is open to guided tours in French or Portuguese. This masterpiece by architect João Antunes houses a number of interesting rooms, carefully decorated and steeped in history. The porcelain room and its fine collection are sure to impress. The music room is also worth a visit. What's more, the palace boasts a beautiful garden where you can enjoy a pleasant moment. Worth a visit!
