Jardim do Príncipe Real

Jardim do Príncipe Real, Public garden in Misericórdia district, Lisbon, Portugal

Jardim do Príncipe Real is a public garden in the Misericórdia district featuring diverse trees and plants, with a monumental cedar at its center whose spreading branches create a natural canopy. Winding paths connect to ornamental ponds, benches, a children's play area, and two refreshment kiosks throughout the space.

The site was known as Alto da Cotovia in the 15th century. After a planned palace was abandoned and the Jesuit Colégio das Missões was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, the area became a rubbish dump. In 1861 earthworks began, and in 1869 the garden was landscaped by João Francisco da Silva; it was renamed Jardim França Borges in 1915.

The garden was renamed Jardim França Borges in 1915 after the republican journalist, and a bust honours him there. A sculpture by Lagoa Henriques marks the centenary of the death of poet Antero de Quental. On Saturdays, a weekly market sells organic farm produce.

The garden is freely accessible and welcomes visitors year-round, with plenty of shaded seating beneath the large trees and along its paths. The terrain is flat and easy to navigate, making it comfortable for families with small children or those who prefer a leisurely stroll.

The Reservatório da Patriarcal, finished in 1863, is an octagonal chamber with 31 pillars 9.25 m tall holding 880 m³ of water; it fed the fountains of Sé, Loreto and São Pedro de Alcântara and now belongs to EPAL's Water Museum.
