The Episcopal Palace is a 16th-century former-religious building situated in the civil parish of Sé, municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the Portuguese island of Terceira, in the archipelago of the Azores.
On 3 November 1544, King John III ceded to the cathedral of Angra "para todo osempre" some houses and courtyards he owned. The properties were formerly rented by Francisco de Giberlião, which were exporpiated, owing to the debts he had; this included two residences, their chambers and kitchens, and one garden that faced the roadway, along horsetrack. These buildings were expanded an improved, especially along Aljube, including the entrance-ways, in order to serve as the ecclesiastical services. The local government committed an annual subsidy of 500$000 reis on 8 April 1603, for public works, to cover these projects, which were in excess of 2,700$000 reis.
