Mateus Palace, located in Vila Real, Portugal, is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and is often regarded as one of the most beautiful manor houses in Europe. Built in the first half of the 18th century, the palace was designed by the renowned Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni. The estate features an elegant façade adorned with intricate carvings, grand staircases, and beautifully maintained gardens, including a reflecting pool that enhances the palace's majestic appearance. Inside, visitors can explore richly decorated rooms filled with period furniture, artwork, and historical artifacts. The palace is also famous for its association with the Mateus Rosé wine, which is produced by the estate's vineyards.
