Palace of the Counts of Tomar - Volume 3

The Palace of the Counts of Tomar is the subject of the third volume of the “Heritage” collection of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, which focuses on its heritage of historical and artistic interest that has undergone rehabilitation. The palace, located on Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara, adjacent to the Portugal da Gama Palace, has an extraordinarily rich history, with various relevant functions and notable owners, in a process that continues to this day.

The collection is guided by the objective of enhancing the heritage dimension through a permanent dialogue between the author of the historical study and the architect responsible for the rehabilitation project, in a crossing of perspectives and complementary experiences that enrich both the understanding of the past and the possibilities for more suitable solutions for future functioning.
