Built in the 17th century and transformed in the first half of the 18th century, the Palace housed the counts of Bertiandos for 300 years, and was opened to the public as a Museum on February 11, 1978. With the building and its gardens classified as Property of Public Interest since 1949, the permanent exhibition of the Biscainhos Museum illustrates the empirical context of Portuguese noble society, within the framework of the Baroque period court, mainly integrating decorative arts collections, with an emphasis also on national and European painting collections and Portuguese sculpture. The heritage richness of Jardim dos Biscainhos, one of the most expressive testimonies of Baroque that has survived in Portugal, was reinforced in 2020, with the attribution by the Portuguese Association of Historic Gardens, of the Historic Garden Quality Seal. https://museudosbiscainhos.gov.pt/museu/palacio/
