The Buçaco Palace, located in Portugal's Buçaco mountain range, is a former Carmelite convent transformed into a luxury hotel. Established in 1628, the convent featured a garden symbolizing Mount Carmel and the Earthly Paradise. After the monks left in 1834, plans emerged to convert the site into a royal residence for Queen Maria Pia, but political challenges led to its development as a luxury hotel. (Re)constructed between 1888 and 1907, the palace showcases a Neo-Manueline architectural style, reminiscent of Portugal's Age of Discovery landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Today, it stands as a national monument and is a great place to explore both a luxury hotel and a historic building.
