Jardins do Palácio Nacional de Queluz
The gardens of the Palace of Queluz are a result of the sinthesis of decorative elements inspired by the 18th century French baroque, which is only natural since the construction was ordered by Dom Pedro according to the model of the Palace of Versailles. Almost abandoned, the Palace of Queluz was restored in the 1930s for the 1940 Exposição do Mundo Português (Exhibition of the Portuguese World). Currently, one can still see the lakes of Neptune and Amphitritis, the sets of sculptures and a part of the big lake.
