Among elegant flower beds and shadows of trees that cool the wooden benches where you feel like sitting, Jardim da Piedade marks its center through a wrought-iron bandstand, characteristic of 19th Century Iron Architecture.
The beauty of the bandstand is aided by the design of the buildings, which mark the boundary of the garden, allowing those who visit this space to travel back in time to the period of the Liberal Revolutions between Absolutists and Miguelists.
The delicate lines of the Gomes family palace and the romantic grandeur of Chalet Ribeiro Telles, a building inspired by 19th century Northern European architecture, are perennial remnants of an ancient time, when the parish of Cova da Piedade was a frequent destination of the bourgeois families of Lisbon in search of the quality of the beaches of Alfeite.
