All the Palace is so beatiful, the inside garden, what we call in Portal "pátio " with the trees an marble fontain, all the paintings, the colours all together, so nice, so pleasant, so perfect, the original hamman. It has a lot of tourists, the best is to buy the ticket before so it can be easier to get in and start visiting the place.
