Hiking Highlight

Tips
The imposing, approximately 40-meter-long lake is fed by an underground canal that runs through the entire Rossio Marquês de Pombal and empties into a marble shell. The famous statue of the "Gadanha," located in the lake, originates from the Congregados Convent and was only moved to the center of the lake in the mid-19th century. It originally represented the god Saturn, a symbol of abundance.
