Natural and Geological Value

This site is recognized as a geomonument, which means it houses a geological formation of particular scientific and landscape relevance. Its importance lies in its ability to bear witness to the Earth's history, offering a window into the natural dynamics that shaped the Lisbon region over millennia. It is a point of interest for those seeking to understand the origins of the territory and appreciate the intrinsic beauty of rock formations, which reveal layers and structures resulting from past geological eras.

A Legacy of the Old Estate

The name "Quinta do Lambert" refers to the existence of an old rural property that, in the past, characterized this area of Lisbon. The geomonument represents a part of that legacy, a natural element that has been preserved within the context of urban evolution. Its presence recalls the former landscape of the estates that once dotted the city's outskirts, where nature coexisted with human land use, creating a unique environment that can still be observed and valued today for its uniqueness and the history it holds.
