In 1461, the region came under the rule of the Bragança family. Starting in 1501, the family built a new palace outside the old castle and city walls. Two monasteries were established nearby, and a new fortress was built on the site of the old castle on the hill. When Duke João of Bragança was proclaimed King John IV of Portugal in 1640, the Bragança family moved to Lisbon, but continued to use the enormous palace in Vila Viçosa as a summer residence.
