The building is a result of the renovation and extension work of an old mansion which used to belong to Manuel Martins Manso, who was the bishop of Guarda, and originally from Bemposta. The construction of the house began in the first half of the 18th century, and the main wall has some of the typical characteristics of a nobleman’s house or lord of the north wind mountain area from the end of the 17th and 18th century. The mansion is also known as a good example of the erudite rural architecture of the 19th century in the region. It has a private chapel dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, a garden and a coat of arms on its main wall from the Martins-Manso, now the Marcos. On 4 April 1996 it was declared a Building of Architectural Relevance. The Marcos Mansion has 4 twin rooms, 4 double and 1 suite |
