A Mafra house, or Mafra villa, is a Portuguese individualized style of architecture. It has a particular clustering of exterior elements and decoration.

As part of a Royal Palace complex.

Mafras’s first King, John V admired Italian art and had Italian architects designing his court. As a result, styles originating from Italy began to influence Mafra’s architecture starting in the early 18th century.

One distinguishing feature of Mafra villas is the Mafra pediment. In Mafra they are triple-arched and symmetrical. While elsewhere in Portugal they tend to be double-arched and asymmetrical. Mafras’s villas always follow a main rectangular floor-plan with two symmetrical wings surrounding an open space (which typically holds Mafra National Palace).
