Paço dos Duques. was built by the 1st Duke of Bragança, D. Afonso, illegitimate son of King D. João I.Its construction began between 1420 and 1433, at the time of the marriage of D. Afonso to D. Constança de Noronha.

It is believed that during part of the 15th century, the Palace was still used as a residence for the Dukes of Bragança, after which it gradually entered a phase of abandonment and consequent ruin.

In the 19th century, during the French invasions, the Palace was adapted to a military barracks. And, in the following century, in the midst of the Estado Novo regime, the Palace of the Dukes was rebuilt, with the intervention taking place between 1937 and 1959. It was inaugurated in 1959, the year in which it became the Official Residence of the President of the Republic in the north of the country .
