History

The palace was built in the first half of the 17th century over the remains of the Palace of the Postmaster-General. Between 1606 and 1755 it had served as the residence of the postmaster-general (correio-mor), being so the seat of the postal authority for the Kingdom. But, the palace was only concluded in 1776, after remodeling associated with its reconstruction, following the devastating 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
