The whimsical multi-colored palace was purchased by the Portuguese State in 1889 and after the 1910 Republican Revolution the estate was declared a national monument. Under the Portuguese State it became a museum. The palace and landscape overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995
