D. João V, the "Magnanimous King" (1689-1750), had a Convent-Palace built in Vila de Mafra, to fulfil the promise he made in case the Queen gave him a son. This great monument, built in a time of royal prosperity, was motivated by the exploitation of Brazilian gold and diamonds and is a prime work of the Portuguese Baroque era.

Tapada de Manfra was created in 1747 with the objective of providing and adequate participation in the Monument, build a recreation space for the king and his court, as well as providing firewood and other products for the convent. With an area of 1200 hectare, Tapada de Manfra is surrounded by a wall of stone and lime, with a total extension of 21Km.
