Santa Sancha Palace was built in 1846 as a private mansion. It is a two-storey building with a symmetrical front. The building is painted red and has white windows. Santa Sancha Palace is surrounded by a European style garden. From the upper floor balcony, one can see Praia do Bom Parto Bay and Taipa Island.

After changing hands a few times, Santa Sancha Palace was eventually acquired by the Portuguese colonial government in 1926, and converted into Governor Artur Tamagnini de Sousa Barbosa's official residence in 1937.
