Ajuda Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Ajuda, Lisbon, Portugal.
The garden extends across multiple terraces featuring geometric flowerbeds, fountains, ponds, and plant collections arranged by geographical regions and scientific classifications.
Established in 1768 by the Marquis of Pombal and designed by Italian botanist Domenico Vandelli, this garden became the first botanical garden in Portugal.
The garden maintains collections of over 1600 plant species from South America, New Zealand, Central Europe, and Japan, reflecting Portuguese maritime exploration.
The Instituto Superior de Agronomia manages the garden, which contains specialized areas including a greenhouse, scent garden, and educational facilities for botanical studies.
White peacocks roam freely through the garden grounds, while a 40-spout stone fountain stands at the center of the lower terrace.
