Gold Chamber
Gold Chamber
The third room in the palace of King João I and Queen Philippa of Lancaster.
This is where the sovereign could receive people of higher social status, a habit adopted by Queen Catarina of Austria (1507–1578). The king could also sleep here on the bed surrounded by his servants or a closer family member, who would sleep on the ground. This is how King Sebastião (1554–1578) used the room.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was covered in gold, but this decoration has been lost. In the 19th century, it was used as a dining room.

Tiles with Armillary Sphere
These tiles are found exclusively in the National Palace of Sintra, in the Gold Chamber and Grotesque and Lion Patios. They feature the armillary sphere, the emblem of King Manuel I (1495–1521), and were commissioned by the king in 1508–1509 from the workshop of Fernand Martínes Guijarro and Pedro de Herrera, his son, ceramicists from Seville.
