Jardins, esculturas e duas salas com pintura decorativa, no antigo Paço Real de Caxias, Royal garden complex in Oeiras, Portugal
The Royal Palace of Caxias features geometric gardens with boxwood flowerbeds, French-style parterres, and a central lake with cascading water features.
Construction began in the early 1700s under Prince Francisco, brother of King João V, and was completed by Prince Pedro, who later married Queen Maria I.
The garden displays numerous mythological statues, including sculptures by Machado de Castro depicting the goddess Diana and the shepherd Endymion.
The water supply for fountains and lakes travels several kilometers through an engineered system from Queijas to the garden's main tank.
The gardens extend across terraced levels with internal tunnels forming cooling labyrinths, complemented by views of Cartuxa Convent and Tagus Bar.
