BEFORE its completion however, the
King was called to sovereignty. and

Years ago, before King Carlos wore
the crown Of Portugal, while he was
cided thai a new palace was neces-
sary as suitable residence for the
young prince. Busaco was the spot
chosen. The estate was surveyed and
marked off by boundary wall six
miles in circumference. All within
that wall was to be the royal de-
mesne.
Clearings were made in the virgin
woods. and stately building slowly
rose. Graceful in conception, its archi-
lecture was in the style of the famous
towers and church of Belem, that are
the most striking features in the mag
nifcent approach to Lisbon by the

Slowly the graceful palace took
shape, until the exterior was COM

use the palace, now that he had many
others at his command. operations on
