Quinta das Lágrimas

Quinta das Lágrimas is a quinta in Coimbra. It was classified in 1977 as an "Imóvel de Interesse Publico" by the IPPAR. It includes 12 ha of gardens and a palace that has been converted into a luxury hotel.The origin of the estate is uncertain. It is known that it was a hunting ground for the Portuguese royal family and that it later belonged to the University of Coimbra and afterwards to a religious order. It was acquired by the Osório Cabral de Castro family in 1730, by whose order the palace was built. In 1879 a large part of the palace was lost during a fire. It was rebuilt in the late nineteenth century by Miguel Osório Cabral de Castro, in a style different from that of the original.
