About

Paço do Bispo is closed, in order to prevent the Covid-19 outbreak.


It was probably built in the 13th century, although it might be founded on an older construction.

In 1737 it was remodelled; the changes were designed by Nicolau Nasoni, according to some authors.

The main façade is open by a full arch flanked by pilasters and topped by a decorated fronton.

The central window has a stone balustrade and the fronton – that exceeds the entablature – reveals the coat of arms of Bishop D. Rafael de Mendonça.

The lateral façades present equally framed windows with magnificent frontons.
