Located in Lisbon, in the historic district of Santos-o-Velho, the Garden is an integral part of the National Museum of Ancient Art complex. It is situated at the rear of the main building, in an area of the city known for its connection to the Tagus River and a calmer atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
One of the highlights of this space is its view over the Tagus River. The garden opens up to a broad and calm perspective, allowing visitors to observe Lisbon's riverside landscape and the serenity of the estuary. It is an inviting setting for a contemplative break.
Strolling through the garden, one discovers a collection of elements that enrich it. Notably, there is an ancient circular stone tank, which adds a classic touch to the environment. There are also various sculptures placed on pedestals and a variety of notable trees, including willow, cypress, and a grandiflora magnolia, whose canopies provide welcoming shade.
For those seeking a moment of quietude, this garden offers a serene refuge. The shade of the trees and the landscaped environment create an atmosphere conducive to rest and contemplation. It is an ideal place to take a break, enjoying the tranquility before or after exploring the museum's collections.
