Palácio dos Terenas
The Palácio dos Terenas stands in the Portuguese city of Porto. An old noble residence, it is a remarkable example of the city's urban architecture. Medieval and Renaissance elements meet in a single structure and mirror the development of the city.
The centuries have brought the residence different owners and different functions. Today the palace ranks as an important piece of Portuguese heritage and draws visitors with an interest in history and architecture.
You may well take the Torre de Pedro Sem for a tower that stands on its own. Yet the tower is no separate monument: it belongs to the palace complex itself. The tower plays its part in the historical identity of the surrounding quarter.
