The highlight of the palace's Hunting Room is this regal fireplace. Created by sculptor Rodrigo de Castro, the marble masterpiece portrays various hunting scenes and is topped by a figurine of a proud huntsman.

Symbolism abounds throughout the room. The hearth alludes to part of its former owner's surname, as Monteiro means hunter in Portuguese. Meanwhile, the wide use of oak and the numerous depictions of the tree are nods to his other surname Carvalho, the Portuguese word for oak. As described by academic Paulo Pereira, this "speaking heraldry" pervades the estate and is a testament to Carvalho Monteiro's preoccupation with allegory.
