Vila Viçosa is important in the history of Portugal. Recovered from the Moors in 1226, it became the seat of the Duchy of Bragança. It was here that nobles in favor of cutting ties with Spain managed to convince D.João II, the 8th Duke of Bragança, after much hesitation, to assume the throne as D.João IV.
The Ducal Palace is a monumental building whose construction began in 1501, by decision of the fourth Duke of Bragança, D. Jaime. Enhancement and improvement campaigns continued throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, giving the building its current size and characteristics - the 110 meter long façade is unique in Portuguese civil architecture and reveals classical inspiration.
