The Royal Palace of Vendas Novas, known by the Palace of the Passages, currently Artillery Regiment No. 5, was the scene of one of the most beautiful stories of princesses.

Wart of D. In 1728, the palace targeted two nights in bed on the way to Caia, where he was to stay D. Barbara marries D. Ferdinand VI of Spain, while on the return D. Mariana Victoria, bride of the future king D. José I, episode in the history of Portugal that became known as the Exchange of Princesses. The construction of this building took place in record time of a year, so that everything was ready to receive the princesses. Colonel José da Silva Pais and Vasconcelos intended the direction, the architecture was in charge of Custos of Vieira and a million crusaders were spent, so the result was the Palace of Great Magnanimity, considered at the time one of the largest buildings in the country.

The building had many excellent divisions for the royal family and their servants and there was still an oratory and a sacristy lined with gilded carvings.

From the Inn of the Kings it went into cavalry cases, set, telegraph, improvised hospital for the fight against yellow fever and finally, since 1861 and on the initiative of D. Pedro V, for the headquarters of the Artillery Practice School, so until 2013. Currently Artillery Regiment No.5

Inside the famous palace it is still possible to observe the original frescoes on the ceilings, the fountain, which although covered, is still in the courtyard courtyard and the Palace of the King's Hunt, which is located in the artillery polygon. All the rest of the compartments of the palace now function as offices of the military unit and the rest room has been adapted to the day-to-day use of the barracks.
