Inserted in the Aire and Candeeiros Mountains natural park we can find the beautiful and historic city of Torres Novas. Torres Novas is a city where there was a strong Roman presence, of which the ruins of Vila Cardilium are an example. This city is also associated to the beginning of the Portuguese nation, being one of the first cities conquered by king D.Sancho I to the Arabs in 1190.O. The Torres Novas castle is considered the city's ex-libris, and is classified as a national monument that represents well this medieval presence. Located one hour away from the capital, Lisbon, it is part of the Fátima-Torres Novas-Tomar axis, an area marked by gastronomy, history, culture and of course religion, which has the sanctuary of Fátima as its maximum exponent. It is in this context that we find this magnificent palace, which used to be a convent of the Holy Spirit that closed at the end of the 18th century. Located in the central area of Torres Novas, close to all kinds of services, shops and public and private equipment, it was totally recovered and rehabilitated. The property has 2 floors, having also an attic where you have access to a bathroom and a room that can, for example, be used as an office. At the ground floor one can find two spaces that can have several uses, the garage with a wine cellar and the laundry area. It offers access to the garden area at the back of the palace overlooking the Almonda river. The 1st floor consists of four suites, a guest toilet, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with Siemens appliances. This rehabilitation kept some of the original features such as the wooden floor, wooden shutters on the glass windows, and the limestone stonework. Excellent property for those looking to live between the country and the city, in a region full of history in central Portugal.
