Legends and traditions: according to the information of Monsignor José de Castro, the Bishops of Miranda had to live half the year in Bragança. The Bishops of this city, since they did not have proper residence, lived in the Castle, like their counterparts in Miranda, until D. António Pinheiro.

This building, the Episcopal Palace or House of Braganza, was rebuilt in 1734 by the Bishop João de Sousa Carvalho, where today the Abade de Baçal Museum is located.
