Another minimalist room, the wine cellar at the Correio-Mor nevertheless has nice vaulted ceilings and stone paving, beautiful lanterns and green shutters – not to mention those great big barrels. The ceiling heights also vary and indicate what was happening above: at the stables there would be accommodation (no doubt warmed up by the beasts’ own heat), whereas the kitchen is a full double height space.

Baroque Palace
Bocoran Admin Selot Terbaik Indonesia - MPO76
As in your average Baroque Palace, the piano nobile is reserved for the public rooms with fancy azulejos and stuccoed ceilings. The Correio-mor is no different, but things get interesting downstairs too – the kitchen with its wide stone slab flooring gets a tall wainscot of painted blue and white azulejos all around.

There are at least three rooms like these at the Palácio, where extravagant displays of china would be kept and appreciated as guests passed by to enter the adjoining dining rooms. Side stairs allowed access to staff for maintenance and removal as required for the party.

Palace
Bocoran Admin Selot Terbaik Indonesia - MPO76
There is a lot to take on inside the Palace, but all the main rooms are quintessential 18th c. Portuguese – more or less elaborate tray ceilings (some here with intricate stucco decoration by Italian artisans) and azulejo wainscots, called silhares. In between, wall space for hainging tapestries or paintings. No baseboards or much else in the way of Architectural ornament, generally preferred by the more cerebral British.

The monumental procession to the piano nobile continues up the stairs, where the interiors are now developed with panels at walls and vaulted ceilings.Stairs, landings and wainscoting are stone; the rest is painted plaster, with simple but vigorous and deep moldings which give it a strong plastic quality. At the corners, note how the windows interrupt the wall panels creating a Baroque juxtaposition and increasing the monumentality of the ensemble. Different bronze lanterns make their appearance

Lighting

Detail of one of the many light fixtures in bronze. There are different models throughout the palace, and they all seem to be from the mid 20th c., when extensive restoration was done. The lanterns and sconces are therefore relatively new, but beautiful and appropriate. This is a great example, with bold “ears” at the wall plate and inverted-heart vents at the top.

The porte cochere of the Palácio do Correio-mor. Behind its flamboyant, pink façade this open room is austere and cold – no doubt providing great respite against the elements, especially the merciless Lisbon Summer.
