Solar dos Zagallos

The Solar dos Zagallos is located in Sobreda, in the municipality of Almada, and preserves the memory of an old manor estate. Construction began in the 18th century, linked to the Zagallo family and to the Morgado da Sobreda, established in 1745. The house, with the character of a small palace, brings together civil and religious architecture, with Baroque, Rococo, Pombaline, Neoclassical and modern elements. Inside, the two noble halls, the courtyard, the chapels and a remarkable set of tile panels stand out, appearing in corridors, religious spaces and passage areas. Outside, the gardens, avenue, ponds, orchard and Casa da Água extend the reading of the former agricultural property. Restored by Almada City Council in 1994, while preserving its original character, the solar is now a cultural space, where family history, architecture and contemporary creation meet on an intimate scale.
