Figueira da Foz
Historic Home
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
Palácio Sotto Mayor, an elegantly furnished, French-style manor house, was constructed as part of the wave of development in the late 19th and early 20th century that made Figueira da Foz a world-class resort. Long in the hands of one of Portugal's leading families, the building now belongs to the owners of the casino, and local gossip has it that it was "donated" as payment for gambling debts.
