🏰🇵🇹 The Grande Palácio. Memories of an abandoned Neoclassical palace in Portugal

The most beautiful area is the symmetrical stone staircase. The walls are painted in the grisaille style, a shading technique creating an illusion of 3D sculptures and columns. A bright red carpet covers the stairs. A black metal lantern is suspended from the centre of the ceiling.

Abandoned for 40 years. Now it is under #renovation
