"The Quinta do Saldanha is a small L-shaped neo-gothic palace upon which construction works were carried out between 1860 and 1870. In front of its main elevation stands a medieval style portico, surmounted by a balcony and matching parapet. The chapel, whose only item of note is its magnificent, original Manueline portico, taken from the defunct Penha Longa convent is part of the building’s eastern wing.
On the land in front of this small palace stands a monument dedicated to Faith, commissioned by the Marshal-Duke in 1870, to the design of Possidónio da Silva and executed by master mason Filipe. Its pedestal bears the following epigraph: Only the Love of God which gives birth to the Love of Family, from which derives the Love of the Homeland can assure us of Happiness on Earth: in Heaven, Beatitude. Marshal-Duke of Saldanha, 1870."
