The Belém Palace (Portuguese: Palácio de Belém), formally the National Palace of Belém (Portuguese: Palácio Nacional de Belém), is the current official residence of the president of Portugal, the head of state of Portugal. Located in the Belém District of Lisbon, the palace's main façade fronts the Afonso de Albuquerque Square, facing the Tagus River. A former residence of the Portuguese royal family, the Belém Palace complex is made up of various buildings, wings, courtyards, and gardens, built variously from the 18th to 21st centuries.
