Palace of Necessidades, Lisbon and King Manuel II
Palace of Necessidades (Palacio das Necessidades) in the Largo do Rilvas, a public square in Lisbon, Portugal. On 5th October 1910, during the Republican Revolution, the palace, because it was the official residence of the King, Manuel II (pictured in the inset), was shelled by the cruiser Adamastor, one of the ships stationed in the Tagus River. The salvoes caused some damage to the Palace, and one of the bomblets even reached the king's private quarters on the first floor
