The Archer's Hall (Lisbon)

Portugal / Lisboa e Vale do Tejo / Alges / Lisbon / Largo da Ajuda

Sala dos Archeiros (Archer's Hall), named because it was occupied by the guard of honour (from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.), is a hall illuminated by two windows and three rectangular doors, all with golden metal shields and covered in decorative paintings representing military victories. The vaulted hall ceiling is painted by José da Cunha Taborda with the Portuguese Royal coat of arms, the windows and doors surmounted by paintings, and the floor, while paved in parquet, is covered partially in carpet. It is currently used as the principal entrance for visits to the Palace and concierge.
The place is located in Palace of Ajuda
