Quinta da Conceição, Public park in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal

The park combines natural areas with manicured lawns, stone decorative elements, and multiple pathways distributed across different elevation levels.

The property originated as a Franciscan monastery dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Conceição in 1481, before becoming public grounds in the 20th century.

The park features architectural elements from different periods, including a Manueline portal, granite fountains, and a chapel where Friar João da Póvoa rests.

Located between Vila Franca Street and Antunes Guimarães Avenue, the park offers free entry every day except for the tennis courts and swimming pool.

The swimming pool, designed by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira in 1965, represents an early work of the Portuguese modernist movement.
