    (Translated by Google) I didn't know this palace by chance and I was there during a literary event. I liked the space and the atmosphere, but it's not the cozy type.

    (Translated by Google) Catarina de Bragança, daughter of King Dom João IV (first king of the Bragança dynasty), was from 1662 to 1685 the Queen of England as a consort of King Charles II of England. Tradition has it that Dona Catarina is to introduce to the English royal court the habit of taking tea with the hour set at five; a habit that was very popular among the Portuguese nobility and that soon, in England, turned into fashion. The New York district of Queens was named in his honor as it was a queen when the county was established in 1683. Dona Catarina decided to return to Lisbon a few years after her husband's death in 1692. The queen had her palace built in the Campo de Bemposta, which was then a suburb of the capital. The palace was built by the architect João Antunes, in it the queen died in 1705. Devastated by the earthquake of 1755, it was necessary to rebuild it. The Capela do Paço da Bemposta, dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Conceição, was rebuilt by the architect Manuel Caetano de Sousa, who created a monumental façade with a double flight of stairs. The interior mixes baroque, rococo and neoclassical, the trompe-l'oeil paintings attributed to Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho. On the altar is a painting depicting the royal family and in particular Queen Dona Maria I, a work by the Italian Giovanni Troni. The palace is currently home to the Military Academy, while the Chapel can be visited on Sunday mornings during or immediately after mass. (Original) Catarina de Bragança, figlia del re Dom João IV (primo re della dinastia Bragança), fu dal 1662 al 1685 la regina d’Inghilterra in quanto consorte del re Charles II d’Inghilterra. La tradizione vuole che sia Dona Catarina a introdurre alla corte reale inglese l’abitudine di prendere il the con tanto di ora fissata alle cinque; abitudine che era molto popolare tra la nobiltà portoghese e che presto, in Inghilterra, si trasformò in moda. Il distretto newyorkese di Queens fu chiamato così in suo onore, poiché era regina quando nel 1683 fu istituita la contea. Dona Catarina decise di tornare a Lisbona qualche anno dopo la morte del marito nel 1692. La regina fece costruire il suo palazzo nel Campo de Bemposta, che allora era una zona periferica della capitale. Il palazzo fu edificato dall’architetto João Antunes, in esso morì la regina nel 1705. Devastato dal terremoto del 1755, fu necessario ricostruirlo. La capela do Paço da Bemposta, dedicata a Nossa Senhora da Conceição, fu riedificata dall’architetto Manuel Caetano de Sousa, che creò una facciata monumentale con doppia rampa di scale. L’interno mescola barocco, rococò e neoclassico, di spicco i dipinti a trompe-l’oeil attribuiti a Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho. Sull’altare è un dipinto in cui viene raffigurata la famiglia reale e in particolare la regina Dona Maria I, opera dell’italiano Giovanni Troni. Il palazzo è attualmente sede dell’Accademia Militare, mentre la Cappella è possibile visitarla la domenica mattina durante o subito dopo la messa.

    The fountain at Praça das Flores or Monte Olivete: This was fountain number 11 and was initially located near Arco de São Bento. The arch was demolished in 1838 and the fountain, in turn, was moved to the beginning of Rua Monte Olivete, next to Praça das Flores. It was ordered to be built by the Águas Livres department on June 12, 1805. It had two waterspouts, two companies of water carriers, two foremen, sixty-six water carriers and a light boat. His wealth was shared between D. Genoveva Alexandrina and José Ramos da Fonseca. D. Genoveva had been harmed by the distribution of some of her properties, between Rua do Arco and São Mamede, and Antiga travessa do Pombal, now Rua da Imprensa Nacional, during the construction of the aqueduct for the Esperança fountain and had not received compensation , with half of the remaining water from this Fountain being a way of rewarding them. This Fountain does not touch the wall. It has a polygonal plan. It is cornered by pilasters topped with urns. On its front side, it features the Royal coat of arms of the 18th century on curvilinear moldings and trimmings, topped by a pediment with a broken arch similar to a key and flanked by two pilasters featuring a large water reception basin that runs along the entire central base.
