About
Built in the early eighteenth century during the reign of King João V, the library holds tens of thousands of old books in rooms of lacquered and gilded wood. A small colony of bats has long helped to protect the collection by eating insects at night.
Best time to go: Entry is timed and small, so reserve your slot well ahead in busy months.
