Back in the 50s, Bolivian Antenor Pati\u00f1o was one of the richest people in the world, having acquired from his father a huge fortune from the tin mining business. Like any self-respecting billionaire, decided to build a luxurious country house on a hill high above the Cascais, near the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At 36,000 square feet, this is a 14-room palace – hence the name Pati\u00f1o Palace – with amenities such as a bowling alley, a Roman-style swimming pool, a mini-cinema, and a library inspired by his Biblioteca Joanina.<\/p>\n

Antenor and his wife Beatriz did not miss the opportunity and organized some monumental parties that went down in history. The legendary “Party of the Parties” in 1968 had over a thousand guests and A-listers such as Audrey Hepburn, Henry Ford, Rothschilds, and the Niarchos family. The eye-catching main house with its impressive tiled roof and imposing arched fa\u00e7ade overlooking the manicured gardens inspired by 18th-century Portuguese architecture. Inside we distinguish the very high wood-carved ceilings and walls are decorated with murals and hand-painted tiles dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.<\/p>\n

Following the death of Beatriz Pati\u00f1o in 2009, the palace was acquired by a local bank and recently by a multinational company that used it as a private exhibition center. Today, 39 years after Pati\u00f1o’s death, the mansion is available for purchase again for the not insignificant amount of 23 million euros.<\/p>\n
