The main gate, emblazoned with the arms of the owners (cf. photographs above), gives access to a large room apparatus that connects with the other rooms of the main floor.

Pedro da Cunha and 1st Marquis of Olhao, D. Francisco de Melo da Cunha de Mendonca e Menezes) and frescos that decorate several rooms.
