Part of the green corridor that connects Parque Eduardo VII to the Monsanto Forest Park, the Amália Rodrigues Garden is a work by landscape architect Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles, inaugurated in 1996 and "renamed" in 2000 in honour of the voice of fado.

Walking along the cobbled paths of the garden we find two statues, by Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero and Master Lagoa Henriques, and a small oasis right in the centre of the city: "the mirror of water". A lake with bar/restaurant and esplanade, which opens up in an invitation to relax and enjoy the calm of nature. In the centre of the garden, a beautiful outdoor stone amphitheatre presents itself as an incredible viewpoint to enjoy the landscape that unfolds down the Avenida da Liberdade to the calmness of the Tejo.

Castilho

Located in a central and cosmopolitan area of Lisbon, Rua Castilho prolongs the elegance and prestige of the neighbouring Avenida da Liberdade. This artery, which stretches from Rua do Salitre to Rua Marquês de Fronteira, is a very sought after location by large companies, banks and 5-star hotels, such as the Ritz Four Seasons, the InterContinental and the Altis Grande Hotel, which was established here in 1973.
