About 20 miles northwest of Lisbon, the Royal Building of Mafra was conceived by King Joao V in 1711 as a tangible representation of his conception of the monarchy and the State. This imposing quadrangular building houses the king's and queen's palaces, the royal chapel, shaped like a Roman baroque basilica, a Franciscan monastery and a library containing 36,000 volumes. The complex is completed by the Cerco garden, with its geometric layout, and the royal hunting park (Tapada). The Royal Mafra Building is one of the most remarkable works undertaken by King João V, and the entire complex has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tours to the Royal Building of Mafra are available from Lisbon.
