The Palace of the Dukes of Cadaval (Portuguese: Palácio dos Duques de Cadaval), as it is also called, is a palace located in the acropolis of Évora, in Portugal.
This palace, which has belonged to Casa Cadaval since its foundation, is made up of the manor house and the Lóios Church, presenting an admirable combination of Mudejar, Gothic and Manueline styles. The Palace includes a pentagonal (medieval) tower, the Torre das Cinco Quinas, which has been classified as a National Monument since 1920.
It was in this Palace, on May 29, 1483, that Fernando II, Duke of Bragança was arrested and dragged to his death at the behest of King João II of Portugal.
