If this video gets to over 5000 thumbs up I'll explore and film more in Portugal!!! In today's video, I travel to Portugal and document one of the most incredible abandoned places in the world. The Palace of the Patriarchs is a once summer residence for the patriarchs of Lisbon but its true origins lie with Count Burnay, one of the richest persons in Portugal, who renovated it during the 17th century. Having started in 1701 and ended in 1734. The palace has since undergone changes and restoration works in the 19th century and more recently in the 1940s. In recent years The palace is currently the seat of the rectory services and social actions of the Technical University of Lisbon but still has yet to see a glimpse of hoep as it lays forgotten in time, with only explorers coming to see what remains..
Kilz is a type of paint you could use to cover the graffiti... it would need cleaning and then paint the Kilz on it to cover it ...it comes in white and eggshell and can be tinted.
Can you imagine what there other home was like. This was their summer home 😂.. it's sickening to see the graffiti. What a shame. And it's only going to get worse if something isn't done real soon.. lock it up very well. And fix it. . I'd pay to go inside most definitely. It's taxes for the town.
I'm Portuguese and I'm so sad to see one of our palaces completely abandoned and vandalized. On the other hand thank you so much for the amazing video really! Please keep it up your work!!!
I wish the taggers who scarred up walls, the safe, etc... with graffiti, would have had the same respect for this incredible piece of history as Steve has... I just watched the video further, and I see Steve's addressing the graffiti issue. I pray they find who did it. To bad a reward couldn't be raised, because some people are more willing to report these things, when money is offered.
This is the beautiful Burnay Palace (Palácio Burnay). It belongs to the State and, for decades, has been a College Called ISCSP (Superior Institute of Social and Politics Sciences). I’ve studied here for 4 Years. It was a magical place. Last Year it has been vandalized and all the Beautiful paintings were robbed... I hope for the day that the palace will be restaured...
I had no ideia you were in Portugal!! It makes me very happy to see an amazing explorer like you explore my country ♥️ I hope you liked your stay here and had fun!
Steve, I’m from NewEngland Massachusetts I know your from there also. I’ve been watching you since from the beginning, along with John,Josh, etc. I love the way you are so devoted to your videos and fans . It’s so relaxing to watch you . You are so calm, no loud voices, no people yelling in the back round. Anything can be restored Steve if you have the money ! Keep up the good work. ❤️🙏🏻 Stay safe !
You guys have a dream job. I have to say, I had the same gut reaction to the graffiti that you did. Who indeed. I can’t imagine anyone thinking their art was more impressive than that room and needed to be seen. Such a spectacular place. It makes me heart sad to see these places not being used.
I’ve just been to Portugal and visited an incredible castle. OMG, people, I have seen some beautiful places thanks to folks who tour these amazing buildings so those of us who can’t take trips to see them in person get to see them. Thank you so very much Steve. This building is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. As you walked down the halls I imagined being there back in the day. Living there as a young girl. All the beauty around. I wonder is anyone could take it for granted. I have no words for how incredible it is. How fortunate the people were to have lived in such splendor. Keep up the good work Steve and always be safe. I’ll be following you in the future as I enjoy your soft respectful voice and above all our disgust with the graffiti. I certainly hope you are able to fine someone to clean it up. I know there are companies in the USA that do that kind of work so there are surely some in Portugal. Good luck. SE Kansas, USA
You know… I know that I am from here, Portugal and I also know you said you would come here one day! You did❤️ and so happy you love what you’ve seen! Come back again soon! Much love 💕
That's crazy how people disrespect any place unless they are artists but that place is amazing I am enjoying seeing you guys go to places and share it with people in the world
I love how you treat the place with such respect and appreciation Steve! You seem to be a kind person. Grateful for this video. I am from Portugal and it saddens me to see Graffiti all over historical monuments. If I had any saying in this, these people would get the harshest prison penalties and the spray can manufacturers would get penalized and taxed to pay for the clean up of their products!
It's so sad to see a beautiful and historical place destroyed this way. I watch all your videos, and I see your care and respect for the places and the people that might have been ther before. A curiosity: I don't know if there is any place in Portugal with the same name, but there is a city in Brazil named "Curitiba", so now I feel ashamed to be a Brazilian.
I know the government should protect these beautiful architecture and keep them as museum instead of letting it sit there get destroyed and rough. I am sure a lot of people will enjoy looking at the history and will appreciate the beautiful architecture.
This Palazzo is totally amazing. Why have they not done something with it. It would make a perfect Library. I wish I could afford to turn it into a world famous Library.
Europe has a massive heat wave and good old Steve Ronin still goes exploring. Amazing job Steve at a huge personal sacrifice. This trip is one of your best in my humble opinion. Great job and thanks for introducing history and beauty to my life.
Definitely gorgeous! I love the staircase same as the spiral case, the ceilings and carvings so beautiful. Thank you Steve for taking us along. By the way advance Happy birthday Steve! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Thank you for all your hardwork just to show us the beautiful abandoned places in the world. Take care and keep it up. God bless💗💗💗
Hi Steve, I'm from Georgia USA, I agree about today's architecture it has no life! It doesn't move you. Today's architecture doesn't move you, it doesn't breathe with stories to be told!! I too hate that these places are losing to people that have no heart by destroying these wonderful beautiful living places!!
Well you asked about me. I am from Nashville Tennessee (born and raised) Just north of Nashville now. Couldn't stand city life anymore so I moved to the country. And old enuf to be your grandma probably. I enjoy your videos tremendously. Keep up the good work
Agree, I just don't get it why graffiti artists couldn't respect these houses just look at how majestic the architecture, I wish the keepers from that community to act and clean up the mess. Idk much as I am not as well traveled but I kinda hope they turn this into a public library to keep it preserved and be taken care of, it's sad how most of these wonderful places being abandoned to just decay. Amazing tour Steve, love your sincere mindset about almost everything, much love from Manila ♥
Those graffiti are no 'artists' Had they been, they would respect art when they Saw it. They are just miserable people who like to destroy, as they themselves cannot make beauty
Hi! I'm Darla, and I'm in Spokane WA USA I enjoy your videos, so much. It's absolutely amazing how, you travel to so many beautiful places. This is my history channel, for real. Thank you again. You're a beautiful person, with a passion, that I admire. 😊❤
Please someone restore this absolutely magnificent place. Maybe a group of some kind could help find out how to clean up the graffiti . Please do not let this place be Destroyed anymore! To the government start a project to bring this masterpiece back to life. What a special place to show the world and be proud of your history. Much loved and praying someone will intervene. When it’s lost there will no getting this back! Ty Steve as always appreciating and showing us such beauty in this world.
I'm a 80 year old grandmother of 5 .I seen all of stranger things great show. People with nothing to do ruin it for others. Beautiful place even with the graffiti. Love your videos
Thank you for the tours and discoveries you bring us into. This mansion so called school can be restored .Graffi can be removed and should also. Beautiful ceilings love it
Your love and respect for the places you visit as well as your amazing photography bring us back time after time Steve. I don't understand the tagging of such a gorgeous place. I hope it is going to be restored. You mentioned a video series you had watched and we didn't catch the name. We want to know so we can check it out!
Kids these days!! Such a shame. What a stunning home! Those skylights are gorgeous! The chandelier is on that cable so it can be lowered and cleaned regularly. Watching from Texas 🇨🇱!
Your amazing, most guys your age have no clue about the appreciation of architectural designs or art work. You are a beautiful unique guy and don't let life, people change who you are or how you view the world cause that's why I watch your videos 😉 😊
Wonderful documentary. I love your passion for wanting to preserve history. I love how you are so respectful and it breaks my heart, as well, to see graffiti. Hopefully they clean it up.
Hi !! I'm from down under (Australia)Enjoy your videos very much they are so well done. Like how you get right into the feel of the property you have come to see Thanks to all you guys the buildings may fall and just be a pile of stones and dust. Your videos will help to preserve the memory of the buildings ect for many years to come.
I admire what you do so, so much. It is such a shame to see places just sit empty and fall apart. To me this is not right. It is so wrong of the world to allow this to happen. May God find a way for this to stop! Debbie GA USA
Yeah, including Steve here - he amd several other big abandoned channels tell the whole world all about them, and then fools seek them out and tag them or worse. It is reckless garbage.
Thank You for showing us such a beautiful part of history!!! I hope this place gets cleaned up! Just beautiful!!! Shared across 4 social media platforms! Keep up the great work!!! TY and God bless!!!
Hi Steve. amazing video. Thanks so much for showing us this stuff. As you say do take care doing this alone. you never know what might happen. keep up the great work. Robert from Bristol. UK.
It's so beautiful!! I'm so sad about this graffiti though :(( But I love how this place looks so special and elegant 😍 Real work of art 👀 My family loves your videos since I've shown them how awesome you are haha, keep going 👏🏻
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, Such beautiful architecture. It was a pleasure to see this place. I loved the the ceilings with the glass. They were gorgeous. There's absolutely no comparison from the old castle, mansion architecture to today's. Those mansions have nothing on these beautiful ones. The ceilings were jaw dropping gorgeous. Then the staircase and the ceiling. I was fooled. It looked just like carved marble. I agree with you 100 percent. This place should be protected with guards . And definitely get restored. There's so much to off if they fix it up. Weddings. There's 2 theaters. Make it maybe into a upscale hotel. Anything to keep it from falling apart. Thank you Steve. It was such a pleasure to see this place.
Linda from Palmer, TX just south of Dallas. Love your videos! I appreciate someone your age who gets it! If more young people like you, cared enough about history and architecture, we would be able to keep places like that safe!
Wow! What a stunning, it’s so so beautiful architecture, I love everything and every room in this place , historical beauty , couldn’t believe anyone would let it abandon , this people are super rich indeed , thank you for sharing this historical beauty
So glad I came across your videos! You do a great job on providing some background information, being interactive, and most importantly respectful to the energy in the space. I too love opulence and time capsules. This palace was EXTRAVAGENCE. ❤️
Steve, I was raised in daytona beach, florida, but now I live in Tennessee. I also had dna test done/crigenetics and found out I have chinese, japanese, german, english, scottish, scandanavian, indian from india, punjabi, bengal, sri lankan tamil, gujerati ect. The chinese and japanese was from seven generations ago. I also found out I am related to princess diana through the matrinalineal line. I am also an army veteran and female. Thank you so much for the video!
Apparently this property owned by the govt failed to secure the property. Those responsible for being derelict in their jobs should be fired immediately. Those responsible for the thefts and vandalism should be caught and severely punished. This belongs to all the citizens of Portugal and is integral to their history...
Steve, this is my favorite place so far. The architecture is amazing! We don't really get to see that kind of beauty in the United States. Such a shame. The graffiti is so maddening. Why can't some people appreciate the history and beauty around us. Thanks for another great vlog. I always look forward to the next one. Stay safe!
Hi Steve. Love your awesome travel locations. It makes me feel I'm there admiring such History and decaying beauty of abandoned places😀 I unfortunately never been able to travel but exploring throughout your vlogs really pays off. Thanks !!!!! Keep on moving forward with your exceptional locations and always be safe. Blessings be with you always
All of the detail and carved walls and ceilings were just beautiful! Steve this is why out of all of you guys, your my fav… just the way you were so upset about the graffiti was so mature and so respectful. I can’t believe that white was wallpaper!! I can’t imagine how much something like that would cost!
The place is just stunning and so massive, people who have to graffiti and deface a building have no respect for the history of the places they destroy, it's just disgusting. OMG then they had to destroy the theater as well. I think if they reopen this building it would have to be for public use, I think it's past its prime to be private, with all the additions to it. thanks for the tour, Steve. Love from NY.
As many residents I have cared for have said, “things aren’t made like they used to be.” And I completely agree; most things are industrialized. My point is, ANYTHING handmade, or baking goodies to share is still always the best!!
Kids who have not been taught respect, it's very daunting and sad. Beautiful building, should be restored to all it's glory for the people, who probably paid for it one way or another.
Oh my Word, How many rooms are there in that place? I will say this it really does take your Breath away it is absolutely Beautiful ❤️ ❤️. Thank you for sharing.
If this video gets to over 5000 thumbs up I'll explore and film more in Portugal!!!

Belive it or not but i went there twice before it got Vandalised

I love how you appreciate architecture and old items and art which modern buildings have lost, and the respect you have for history.
I wish the taggers who scarred up walls, the safe, etc... with graffiti, would have had the same respect for this incredible piece of history as Steve has...

Thanks for showing and photographing these places so many people would never get to see. Love the architecture and for being respectful .
I appreciate all the craftsmanship that went into that beautiful mansion. I hope to own a mansion like that one day. In heaven of course.
Our mansions in Heaven will be far, far better than the most splendid building on this earth!
I agree, enough is enough on the vandalism. It's not art when it damages the art of these beautiful abandoned places. Love the video. Thanks
That's crazy how people disrespect any place unless they are artists but that place is amazing I am enjoying seeing you guys go to places and share it with people in the world
Your favorite hallway is also my new favorite hallway!!! Gorgeous
Mine too!
I love how you treat the place with such respect and appreciation Steve! You seem to be a kind person. Grateful for this video.

That floor, in the hallway, is a trip.....it can mess you up, if you keep looking at it, while, moving. 😅
The floor in the school hallway...
I think the're called skylights. This by far my favorite and that's saying a lot because I just love all the ones you do.
Thanks, Steve .

Many, many blessings to you always Steve Ronon you & your work are in my heart! Namaste
It is a beautiful home sad people have no respect for other people's property and their history
Yeah, including Steve here - he amd several other big abandoned channels tell the whole world all about them, and then fools seek them out and tag them or worse. It is reckless garbage.
Wow! It's beautiful. ❤️ Especialy the sealings are so wonderful and the stairway so great. Greetings from Germany

I appreciate someone your age who gets it! If more young people like you, cared enough about history and architecture, we would be able to keep places like that safe!
What an amazing mansion! Love the frescos on the ceilings! The grand staircase was awesome, so sad about the graffiti! Trina from Portland, Or.
wow beautiful mansion.but the vandals ruined the walls😢watching from philippines❤️
Wow! What a stunning, it’s so so beautiful architecture, I love everything and every room in this place , historical beauty , couldn’t believe anyone would let it abandon , this people are super rich indeed , thank you for sharing this historical beauty
That house is CRAZY HUGE! wow thanks for sharing!
Love all your videos. Thanks for respecting all historical beauty and I wishes all the ppl would do the same.
So glad I came across your videos! You do a great job on providing some background information, being interactive, and most importantly respectful to the energy in the space. I too love opulence and time capsules. This palace was EXTRAVAGENCE. ❤️
Steve, I was raised in daytona beach, florida, but now I live in Tennessee. I also had dna test done/crigenetics and found out I have chinese, japanese, german, english, scottish, scandanavian, indian from india, punjabi, bengal, sri lankan tamil, gujerati ect. The chinese and japanese was from seven generations ago. I also found out I am related to princess diana through the matrinalineal line. I am also an army veteran and female. Thank you so much for the video!
Hi Steve I love ❤️ your videos I look forward to seeing them I live in Swift Current Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 thank you so much 😊
Apparently this property owned by the govt failed to secure the property. Those responsible for being derelict in their jobs should be fired immediately. Those responsible for the thefts and vandalism should be caught and severely punished. This belongs to all the citizens of Portugal and is integral to their history...
Hello from Bosna i Hercegovina
Awesome architecture. When you were at the safe I believe there was a secret room behind it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
This Palace is AWESOME!!! I would love to see it myself.
Such a gorgeous place...I really enjoy your videos... keep up the good work.
Amazing,I can't imagine living there,cool vid Steve
Absolutely gorgeous mansion, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Wow to think someone used to live there, amazing beautiful place. Thanks Steve 😘
It’s so incredible and beautiful 😍 but I don’t understand why people leave their mansion 🤷♀️
The cost of ownership, maintenance/upkeep, and property taxes must have been through the roof. (And I don't mean that as a pun!)
Steve, this is my favorite place so far. The architecture is amazing! We don't really get to see that kind of beauty in the United States. Such a shame. The graffiti is so maddening. Why can't some people appreciate the history and beauty around us. Thanks for another great vlog. I always look forward to the next one. Stay safe!
Hi im Penny Swier an I'm from Rayne Louisiana, an i love your videos i love the big palaces

Hi Steve. Love your awesome travel locations. It makes me feel I'm there admiring such History and decaying beauty of abandoned places😀 I unfortunately never been able to travel but exploring throughout your vlogs really pays off. Thanks !!!!!

All of the detail and carved walls and ceilings were just beautiful!
Steve this is why out of all of you guys, your my fav… just the way you were so upset about the graffiti was so mature and so respectful. I can’t believe that white was wallpaper!! I can’t imagine how much something like that would cost!
I'm from keithville la
This place is so nice and very big. I love watching your videos.
The place is just stunning and so massive, people who have to graffiti and deface a building have no respect for the history of the places they destroy, it's just disgusting. OMG then they had to destroy the theater as well. I think if they reopen this building it would have to be for public use, I think it's past its prime to be private, with all the additions to it. thanks for the tour, Steve. Love from NY.
I'm watching from Lorrainville Quebec Canada!!! Love to see this!!!
Very beautiful place and I love the architecture of the place.😊Thank you
I'm in Southwest Florida. I'm finding the Portugal places are the most beautiful!
As many residents I have cared for have said, “things aren’t made like they used to be.” And I completely agree; most things are industrialized. My point is, ANYTHING handmade, or baking goodies to share is still always the best!!
The sad part it's seeing the tags on the walls, I visit that palace 2 times last year and it was immaculate
Kids who have not been taught respect, it's very daunting and sad. Beautiful building, should be restored to all it's glory for the people, who probably paid for it one way or another.
Thank you sharing, It's awesome!!!
