History edit

Located in the Santa Catarina parish in Lisbon, the palace was built in the 18th century.

In 2003, the palace was acquired for its architecture.

In 2010, the palace became the seat of POP UP LISBOA 2010, an urban artistic movement.

In December 2017, the former palace made its debut as a newly restored, ultra-chic, 19-room boutique hotel called Verride Palacio de Santa Catarina, in which there's a rooftop bar and gastropub overlooking the Tagus, a swimming pool and a restaurant, Criatura.
