Lisbon - Campo Grande
|
|
The 1.2km/0.75mi long and 200m/656ft wide Campo Grande park stretches from the Entrecampos roundabout to the expressway in the north. This area was already used by the public in the 16th C. The legendary Dom Sebastiao allowed his troops to practice here before he set off on a crusade to Morocco.
The park began to be planted with selected species of trees and shrubs in the late 18th C. For a long time the park was used mostly by aristocratic citizens for weekend excursions and today many city dwellers continue to spend their Sunday afternoons here.
