One of the last great Rococo buildings to be designed in Europe, the palace was conceived as a summer retreat for Dom Pedro of Braganza, later to become husband and then king consort to his own niece,The Hall of Ambassadors ("Sala dos Embaixadores"), sometimes called the throne room or the Hall of Mirrors, was designed by Robillon in 1757 and is one of the largest reception rooms in the palace. This long low room has a ceiling painted by Francisco de Melo which depicts the Portuguese royal family attending a concert during the reign of Queen Maria I.

I had walked ahead of our tour group to get some pictures without too many people in it and landed in this room. The picture does not do it justice ... it was amazing

Excellent shooting Don - I'm sure you have done the palace justice with this well exposed and detailed view.
