Casa do Alentejo

Casa do Alentejo, located in the heart of Lisbon, is a historic cultural center that encapsulates the rich heritage of the Alentejo region. Originally built in the late 17th century as a palace for the Counts of Pombeiro, this ornate building served as a luxurious residence reflecting the grandeur of Portuguese aristocratic life. In the early 20th century, it was acquired by the Regionalist Alentejo Association, who transformed it into a cultural and social hub celebrating Alentejo's traditions, cuisine, and arts. The interior of Casa do Alentejo is a masterpiece of Moorish-inspired tile work, intricate stucco ceilings, and elegant salons adorned with period furniture and artworks. Its dining halls, once the private quarters of nobility, now host events and serve traditional Alentejo cuisine, offering visitors an immersive cultural experience. Casa do Alentejo stands not only as a testament to the region's cultural heritage but also as a vibrant venue that preserves and promotes Alentejo's distinct identity within the bustling metropolis of Lisbon.
