Title
Hanging Garden of Valongo
Description
Located on the western slope of the Morro da Conceição, this Hanging Garden of Valongo (Jardim Suspenso do Valongo), called so because it sits 7 meters above street level, was built in 1906 and designed as a romantic garden by the landscape architect Luis Rei. It is decorated with statues of Roman deities (replicas of the originals that were damaged). Standing in this garden, one can enjoy a nice view of the neighborhood of Little Africa.
