The Palace of Ajuda is a neoclassical royal palace on the Ajuda hill above Belém, begun at the end of the 18th century where a wooden royal residence had stood after the 1755 earthquake, and never finished to its original plan. It became the main home of King Luís I and Queen Maria Pia, and its rooms keep their 19th-century furnishings.

The Palace of Queluz is an 18th-century royal palace in Queluz, in the municipality of Sintra. Work began in 1747 under the architect Mateus Vicente de Oliveira as a summer residence for the future King Peter III, in a mix of Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical styles. Visitors see the state rooms, the tiled canal and the formal gardens with fountains and statues.
