Ground Floor

The ground floor of the Viana Palace constitutes the historical and functional core of the residence, a set of rooms that provide insight into the daily, ceremonial, and administrative life of the house over more than five centuries. In these spaces, one can appreciate the architectural evolution of the palace, as well as the artistic taste and practical needs of its successive owners.

The rooms on this floor interact with the courtyards that structure the building, enhancing the visitor’s sensory and spatial experience. From the reception halls to the former stables, each space preserves its historical imprint and characteristic decoration, offering an exceptional journey through noble domestic life.

A Tour Through the Interior Spaces

These rooms reflect the combination of solemnity and functionality characteristic of the Viana Palace. The Mosaic Hall, for example, preserves one of the most outstanding archaeological elements of the building; the Hall of Signatures showcases part of the documentary and historical value held by the house; while the Tobias Hall stands out for its iconography and intimate atmosphere.

The former stables, carefully restored, recall the importance of the horse as an element of social representation and mobility in the modern era. Meanwhile, the Main Staircase serves as the vertical axis of the building, marking the transition to the noble floor and standing as one of the most elegant features of the ensemble.
