Parque Eduardo VII

This is the largest of the parks in the central part of Lisbon, and it was named after Kind Edward VII. He was actually the king of England, who came to Portugal in 1902 to reaffirm the alliance between England and Portugal. There is a huge, long, grassy area that goes uphill from a round-about/city square called Praca Marques de Pombal at the bottom up to the monument at the top. The grassy hill is 62 acres in size, and the well trimmed bushes and hedging are artistically and beautifully placed. The monument at the top is yet another dedicated to April 25th when Portugal became democratic. It was fun hiking up to the top of the monument and looking down on the city, quite beautiful without a doubt.
