The Palácio da Bemposta, also called the Paço da Rainha, is a neoclassical palace in Lisbon, in the Bemposta area now part of the civil parish of Pena, in Arroios. It was built for Queen Dowager Catherine of Braganza on her return from London and later became the residence of John VI of Portugal until his death. Queen Maria II later transferred it to the Army, and it became the Portuguese Military Academy.
