Description:
- This small urban palace was constructed in 1792 using the remnants of the glorious Basílica da Estrela (the Great Basilica of Lisbon). Acquired in 1977 by the Ministry of Justice, it has been used since then as the Attorney General's office. The interior is decorated by two large sculptures - the first entitled Motherhood, and the second Sorrow. Both sculptures are made from white marble and created by the French sculptor Guillaume.
