Mafra National Palace: Portugal’s Majestic Baroque Wonder

The Mafra National Palace is a jaw-dropping masterpiece of Baroque architecture. This massive complex, once a royal residence, stuns with its grand basilica, intricate marble floors, and towering bell carillons—the largest in the world. The real highlight? Its breathtaking library, lined with thousands of ancient books and watched over by bats that protect them from insects. Walking through the endless corridors, opulent rooms, and serene monastery, you can feel the weight of history in every corner. Whether you’re drawn by its sheer scale, artistic details, or fascinating past, Mafra is an unforgettable journey into Portugal’s royal heritage.#travel #thingstodo
