Description
A little way southwest of the Soares dos Reis Museum is the flower filled Jardim do Palácio de Cristal, the setting for the Pavilhao dos Desportos, the sports arena, with seating for 10,000 spectators and also a venue for concerts, exhibitions, etc., which in 1952 replaced the former "Crystal Palace". From the south side of the park, where a chapel commemorating King Charles Albert of Sardinia was built in 1851, there is a superb view over the city, the river and the sea.
