I don’t have a good picture of the courtyard of Palácio Nacional da Ajuda, but honestly, I was not terribly impressed anyway.
The backside of the building is somewhat anticlimactic. Basically the western wall of the courtyard is just that: a wall.
On the other side is a street, and across the street is the entrance to some military installation, barracks or something like that. The flowers between the rubble across the street were beautiful though. That’s what you see in the Image of the Day.
