Paço Ducal

O Paço Ducal é um edifício monumental cuja construção se iniciou em 1501, por decisão do quarto Duque de Bragança, D. Jaime. As campanhas de engrandecimento e melhoramento sucederam-se ao longo dos séculos XVI e XVII, conferindo ao edifício a dimensão e as características actuais - a fachada com 110 metros de comprimento é única na arquitectura civil portuguesa e revela inspiração clássica.
