About Vendas Novas
Vendas Novas grew up as a roadside inn on the royal road between Lisbon and Spain — the 18th-century Royal Palace, commissioned by King João V to shelter the royal family during journeys to the Spanish border, is the town's most distinctive landmark. Now home to the Campo Militar de Santa Margarida, the town retains its identity as a crossroads between the capital and the Alentejo interior, surrounded by extensive cork oak woodlands and agricultural fields.
