Established
by
Dom
Fernando
Mascarenhas
(1945-2014),
the
Foundation
of
Casas
de
Fronteira
and
Alorna
represents
three
important
Houses,
in
the
nobliaristic
sense
of
the
word,
of
the
old
Portuguese
nobility:
Fronteira,
Alorna
and
Távora.
As
the
founder
inherited
Torre
County
and
the
Border
Palace
from
his
great-aunt
and
had
no
children,
he
understood
that
he
had
a
unique
opportunity
to
try
to
maintain
the
link
between
that
heritage
and
the
family
to
which
it
is
historically
linked.
Thus,
he
created
the
Foundation
of
Casas
de
Fronteira
and
Alorna,
giving
it
a
cultural
vocation
that
seemed
the
most
in
keeping
with
its
historical
past
and,
at
the
same
time,
with
contemporary
times.
The
Palace
is
an
inhabited
House-Museum
that
remains
in
private
possession.
So
that
the
coexistence
between
the
inhabitants
and
visitors
is
done
in
a
harmonious
way,
all
visits
to
the
interior
of
the
building
are
guided.
The
gardens
can
be
visited
either
without
a
guide
or
following
an
itinerary
with
an
audio
guide.
For
monthly
themed
tours,
led
by
art
historian
Ana
Paula
Rebelo
Correia,
prior
registration
is
required.
The
Foundation
is
a
non-profit
institution
of
public
benefit
whose
statutory
purposes
are
the
preservation
and
study
of
the
material
and
immaterial
heritage
of
Casas
de
Fronteira
and
Alorna,
as
well
as
the
promotion
of
initiatives
aimed
at
encouraging
research,
artistic
creation
and
cultural
training,
ensuring
a
regular
cultural
program
coordinated
by
Professor
Vanda
Anastácio,
also
holding
monthly
meetings
of
the
'Community
of
Readers'
initiated
in
the
1990s
by
the
Foundation's
founder,
Dom
Fernando
Mascarenhas,
organizes
poetry
recitals,
colloquia,
conferences,
free
courses
and
welcomes
research
projects
on
the
material
and
immaterial
heritage
associated
with
the
Palace
and
the
Houses
connected
to
it.
Finally,
the
Foundation
offers,
for
rent,
a
set
of
spaces
inside
the
palace,
in
the
gardens
and
even
in
the
'Terraço
das
Artes'
for
events
that
do
not
jeopardize
its
preservation.

(Original)
Instituída
por
Dom
Fernando
Mascarenhas
(1945-2014),
a
Fundação
das
Casas
de
Fronteira
e
Alorna
representa
três
importantes
Casas,
no
sentido
nobiliárquico
da
palavra,
da
antiga
nobreza
portuguesa:
Fronteira,
Alorna
e
Távora.
Tendo
o
instituidor
herdado
o
Condado
da
Torre
e
o
Palácio
Fronteira
de
uma
sua
tia-bisavó
e
não
tendo
filhos,
entendeu
dispor
de
uma
oportunidade
ímpar
para
procurar
manter
a
ligação
entre
esse
património
e
a
família
a
que
este
está
historicamente
ligado.
Assim,
criou
a
Fundação
das
Casas
de
Fronteira
e
Alorna,
atribuindo-lhe
uma
vocação
cultural
que
lhe
pareceu
a
mais
consentânea
com
o
respectivo
passado
histórico
e,
ao
mesmo
tempo,
com
a
contemporaneidade.
O
Palácio
é
uma
Casa-Museu
habitada
que
se
mantém
em
posse
particular.
Para
que
o
convívio
entre
os
habitantes
e
visitantes
se
faça
de
modo
harmonioso,
todas
as
visitas
ao
interior
do
edifício
são
guiadas.
Os
jardins
são
visitáveis
ou
sem
guia
ou
seguindo
um
roteiro
com
audioguia.
Para
os
passeios
temáticos
mensais,
liderados
pela
historiadora
de
arte
Ana
Paula
Rebelo
Correia,
terá
de
fazer-se
inscrição
prévia.
A
Fundação
é
uma
instituição
sem
fins
lucrativos
de
utilidade
pública
que
tem
como
fins
estatutários
a
preservação
e
o
estudo
do
património
material
e
imaterial
das
Casas
de
Fronteira
e
Alorna,
bem
como
a
promoção
de
iniciativas
que
visem
incentivar
a

a

artística
e
a

cultural,
assegurando
um
programa
cultural
regular
coordenado
pela
Professora
Vanda
Anastácio,
mantendo
ainda
reuniões
mensais
da
'Comunidade
de
Leitores'
iniciada
nos
anos
1990
pelo
instituidor
da
Fundação,
Dom
Fernando
Mascarenhas,
organiza
recitais
de
poesia,
colóquios,
conferências,
cursos
livres
e
acolhe
projectos
de
investigação
sobre
o
património
material
e
imaterial
associado
ao
Palácio
e
às
Casas
a
ele
ligadas.
Por
último,
a
Fundação
disponibiliza,
para
aluguer,
um
conjunto
de
espaços
no
interior
do
palácio,
nos
jardins
e
ainda
no
'Terraço
das
Artes'
para
a
realização
de
eventos
que
não
ponham
em
causa
a
sua
preservação.
