Plane tree from Rossio, Monumental tree in Portalegre, Portugal.
The Rossio Plane Tree extends its branches to form a canopy with a diameter of 27 meters, creating a natural shelter in the center of Portalegre.
Botanist Dr. Jose Maria Grande planted this plane tree in 1838 near a water line, making it the first tree classified as public interest in Portugal.
The tree serves as a central meeting point where citizens gather for social events, political rallies, and informal discussions throughout generations.
Regular maintenance by the Serralves Foundation Urban Arboriculture Service ensures the health of this specimen through specialized interventions since the 1990s.
The trunk measures 5.26 meters in circumference at chest height, with part of it buried due to street leveling works over time.
