Mateus Palace

This beautiful palace in Portugal sports a majestic entrance with a mirror like reflective pond. Avid outdoor photographers will be in heaven not only at the entrance but also at the colorful and well maintained gardens. Mateus Palace (Portuguese: Palácio de Mateus, Solar de Mateus or Casa de Mateus) is located in the civil parish of Mateus, municipality of Vila Real, Portugal. Architect Nicolau Nasoni was involved in the project for the construction of the palace, which took place in the 18th century. My only complaint about this shot is that the day was mostly cloudy. However, the quiet waters of the pond provided a perfect reflection.
