History
Manuel Souza Freire born around 1760, in a house currently in ruins in front of the estate. He use to dream about an magnificent place of what he saw in front of him, that place is today's Quinta da Tapada.
When he passed away, at the age of 80 - without any direct descendants, since he never married or had children - he passed his dream to the role. The project come from a dream realized by his nephew António Pinto de Souza Freire, who concluded it about 7 years later, around 1849.
