The Casa da Prelada is a former quinta in the north of the Portuguese city of Porto .
The main building was built from 1754 according to plans by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni . The clients were the Noronha and Menezes families. However, his work remained unfinished. It consists of three interconnected structures of different heights. The balconies and windows are made of granite.
The main portal of the quinta, richly decorated with the family coat of arms and two mermaids, dates from the end of the 17th century.
In 1904 the property was donated to the Catholic Social Foundation Santa Casa da Misericórdia . Today, a large part of the area of the quinta is built on with the Hospital da Prelada , a campsite and residential buildings.
The entire ensemble was registered by the monument authority in 1938 and 1977 with the protection status "Building of Public Interest" (Imóvel de Interest Público) .
