The Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves House-Museum was built between 1904 and 1905, based on a project by the architect Norte Júnior at the request of painter José Malhoa, for his residence and workshop. The so-called "Malhoa House" received the Valmor Award in 1905, probably the most prestigious Portuguese and Lisbon award in architecture.
One of the most famous Portuguese monuments, located in Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery is considered a masterpiece of Portuguese architecture from the 16th century and the greatest Manueline style icon. .It was built in limestone (material brought from various locations in the surrounding area), in the former Santa Maria de Belém church site.
The construction of this Palace is associated with a curious Portuguese History fact: after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, King José had a tent complex installed in the Ajuda area (dubbed the "Royal Hut"). This area of the city is characterized by a low seismic risk and so the monarch moved there with his entourage. After a fire destroyed this structure by the end of the 18th century, the royal family gave orders for the construction a more solid building, then named Nossa Senhora da Ajuda Royal Palace.
