More than two hundred years later, one of the most beautiful monuments in portugal, the Palácio da ajuda, will finally be completed. The heritage of Lisbon and the whole Country will get richer and more diverse cultural offer with the opening to the public of the exhibition of the Crown Jewels and the Jewelry Real. Thousands of people will be able to see, live, one of the most valuable cultural treasures of our country.
it Was designed to be one of the largest royal palaces of Europe, but Lisbon never got to know more than a third of their original design. Even the building that we see today, with the rubble on display in its west wing, is an open wound on the sidewalk of Help.
The advances and setbacks of the Palace of Helps you tell us a little bit of our history. After the earthquake of 1755 destroyed the royal palace, the order was to build in wood, the residence of the monarch in one of the areas not met, the High of Help. So it was with pomp and luxury own of an empire, which received a gold and spices from the four corners of the world, until a fire destroyed the Tent Real, as she was known.
to Begin then, in 1795, the works in the Palace of the Help. The French Invasions, which led the royal family to take refuge in Brazil, the systematic problems in finance, and the civil war that devastated the Country in the NINETEENTH century were stopping the works, and carried that the original design had never seen the light of day. In the TWENTIETH century, several projects have been advanced, but nothing came out of the paper.
The palace, which hosted the royal family during more than a century, is the right place to make known to the people of lisbon, and all the Portuguese, the permanent exhibition of the Crown Jewels and pieces of Jewellery of the Royal House.
