Quinta dos Loridos, Oriental garden in Carvalhal, Portugal.

The 35-hectare garden features Buddhist sculptures, pagodas, and terracotta statues placed among natural landscapes with marble and granite construction throughout the grounds.

Created in 2001 as a response to the destruction of the Giant Buddhas of Bamyan in Afghanistan, the garden stands as a symbol of cultural preservation.

The central stairway presents golden Buddha statues welcoming visitors, while the African Sculpture garden displays handcrafted Shona stone art from Zimbabwe.

The garden opens from 9:00 to 18:00 between December and April, and from 9:00 to 19:00 from May to September, with free entry for children under 12.

The central lake contains KOI fish and sculptured dragons rising from the water, surrounded by contemporary art installations in the Modern Sculpture garden.
