Features and Design

The Amphitheatre Garden is distinguished by its architectural conception that evokes the form of an amphitheatre. This peculiar design, characterized by a stepped or terraced arrangement, gives the space an interesting geometry and a sense of spaciousness. The "amphitheatre" structure not only shapes the terrain uniquely but also organizes the space to enhance contemplation and enjoyment of the natural environment. It allows its visitors a comprehensive perspective of the garden itself and its constituent elements, creating a visual and functional focal point.

This location constitutes a true green lung in the parish of Marvila, offering a natural refuge where visitors can enjoy calm and direct contact with nature, even in the heart of Lisbon.
