Bibliophile, he would confide his secrets with writers and scholars. **Camilo Castelo Branco**, Portuguese writer, was one of the members of his inner circle, and the correspondence they exchanged would eventually be published, under the title "*Unpublished Letters by Camilo Castelo Branco to the 1st Conde de Azevedo* ”(Coimbra Editora, 1926). The title of Viscount was partly due to his well-read background, which even his opponents would respect. The other part was due to his wealth and many properties. The title of Conde would was bestowed upon him a few weeks before he died, adding the noble palace in the former Largo de Santo António do Penedo, currently, Rua Saraiva de Carvalho, to his possessions. For this reason, no other name could be given to the palace. The neoclassical and baroque elements mix as a result of the building’s interventions throughout the ages, but are still present on the facade, on the staircase, in the fountain, and go back to the origin of the building's construction in the 17th century. The tiles are also no exception, having arrived in the 21st century well preserved. There are other elements that give it distinction, such as the neoclassical handrail and the stained glass of the romantic period, having been added by the Count himself, who lived here around 1850 and made a profound intervention to improve the palace. “ --- ###### Your Palace in Invicta Address [Rua de Saraiva de Carvalho 93 , Porto, Porto 4000-520 Portugal](//maps.google.com?q=Rua+de+Saraiva+de+Carvalho+93+,Porto,4000-520) Email [info@condesdeazevedopalace.com](mailto:info@condesdeazevedopalace.com) Phone [+351 220 137 654 Call to the National Fixed Network](tel:+351220137654) [![Powered by GuestCentric — Hotel Website & Booking Technology](https://static.guestcentric.net/cdn/wsbdev/wsbdev_bin/powered-gc.svg)](https://www.guestcentric.com/) --- ## Condes de Azevedo Palace Apartments **Address:** Rua de Saraiva de Carvalho 93 , Porto, 4000-520, Portugal **Phone:** +351 220 137 654 **Reservations:** +351 911 510 666 **Email:** [info@condesdeazevedopalace.com](mailto:info@condesdeazevedopalace.com)
