VIEIRA DA SILVA MANSION — A GEM OF ART NOUVEAU IN THE HEART OF ESTREMOZ There are properties that are bought. Others span generations. The Vieira da Silva Mansion is one of the most emblematic examples of Art Nouveau architecture in the Alentejo and one of the most recognizable historic properties in the city of Estremoz. Commissioned in the first decade of the 20th century by physician João Lopes Nunes Vieira da Silva, married to Elisa Carmen Reynolds Graça Zagallo, it was designed as the family residence and is believed to have been one of the first — possibly the first — buildings to be erected on what was then called Avenida da Estação. The property preserves the grandeur, character and elegance inherent to a bourgeois residence of the early 20th century, blending classical and revivalist references with the new artistic trends of the era and incorporating materials from Central Europe. Its magnificent symmetrical facade presents truly singular artistic richness. The monumental polychrome tile panel, inspired by naturalism, harmoniously combines with the wrought iron balconies, worked stonework and elegant decorative frames of the doors and windows. Each element reflects the refinement and spirit of the Portuguese Belle Époque, conferring upon the building a rare and absolutely unmistakable architectural identity. Due to its recognized historical, cultural and architectural interest, the property is identified in the Estremoz Heritage Chart. AN INTERIOR MARKED BY HISTORY With 945.90 m² of gross construction area, set on a plot of 1,758.20 m², the mansion develops across four floors — basement, ground floor, first and second floor — and has 13 registered divisions. The interior preserves many of the distinctive elements of the original construction: high ceilings, worked stucco, spacious rooms, large windows, wooden floors, hydraulic tiles, wooden and glass doors and a particularly generous interior circulation. On the ground floor there is an elegant entrance hall, communicating rooms, a room with an old wood-burning stove, kitchen, pantry and bathroom facilities. The upper floors feature various bedrooms and private areas, including a spacious bedroom connected to a support room and a walk-in closet with antique wooden wardrobes. On the highest floor there is also a storage room with a viewpoint overlooking the city and Estremoz Castle. The property is in overall good condition, although some areas, namely the kitchen and bathroom facilities, could benefit from modernization. GARDEN, ANNEXES AND SUPPORT BUILDINGS Externally, the approximately 1,335.30 m² of outdoor space provides a reserved environment full of possibilities. The ensemble includes a spacious garden with mature trees, Portuguese paved courtyard, well with electric pump, dovecote, former support structures, garage and an independent building currently adapted as a residence and garage. These complementary spaces reinforce the property's versatility and could be integrated into a future rehabilitation project, further enhancing the architectural ensemble.
