Monsanto Forest Park
Located in the mountain range that gave it its name, known in antiquity as a sacred site, the Monsanto Forest Park constitutes the largest green mantle in the world. city. The dense afforestation that characterizes it today is, however, quite recent since, until 1938, when it began to be planted, the place was practically inhospitable, the vegetation being limited to that which existed in Tapada da Ajuda and Mata de S. Domingos de Benfica. The idea of creating a peripheral forest in this area of the city dates back to 1868 and later reappeared with the hygienist ideas of the Mac Bride brothers, who in 1925, within a still utopian perspective, imagined for Lisbon a large forest with 1800ha, torn with avenues extending from Campo Grande to Monsanto. It would be necessary to wait for Duarte Pacheco's action as Minister of Public Works (1932-36), to complete the Monsanto Park. Based on dense forestry, with pines, eucalyptus and oaks forming areas of forest with a single species, the project was defined as a wild forest, thus opposing previous conceptions of English or French parks, where nature is more controlled. . This idea also suited Keil do Amaral's modern perspective on the relationship between the landscape and the integrated structures of the Park. Of these, the different viewpoints stand out, the Alvito Tennis Center and above all the Montes-Claros restaurant-viewpoint, with a visual relationship both with the lower level of the pergola surrounding the large lake, and with the Tagus estuary that its dominant position allows observation. With an area of around 900 hectares, the Monsanto Forest Park is the largest green spot in the city of Lisbon. The Park offers Lisbon residents and tourists magnificent views over the capital, an encounter with a profuse animal and plant life and numerous leisure and sports possibilities. The vegetation is diverse, despite the clear predominance of stone pine, and the fauna includes rabbits, squirrels, small carnivorous mammals and horseshoe bats, an endangered species, as well as birds such as the robin, the woodpecker, the round-winged eagle, owls and owls.
