Tapada da Ajuda, Botanical park in Alcântara, Lisbon, Portugal
The green space covers one hundred hectares with gardens, arboreta, orchards, vineyards, meadows, and field cultures for agricultural education and research purposes.
The grounds originated as a royal hunting estate before transforming into an educational institution managed by the Instituto Superior de Agronomia - Universidade de Lisboa.
The park includes the Natural Botanical Reserve D. António Xavier Pereira Coutinho, established in 1923 to preserve local vegetation on limestone formations.
Free entrance allows visitors to explore walking paths, view the Tagus River from a 134-meter-high belvedere, and observe over 200 plant species.
Archaeological excavations revealed remains of a Bronze Age settlement within the park grounds, adding historical depth to this educational green space.
