The square Jardim da Praça do Império park is bordered by the Jerónimos Monastery (to the north), the Jardim de Belém and Jardim Afonso de Albuquerque parks (to the east), Avenida da Índia and the Cascais railway line (to the south), and the Belém Cultural Center (to the west). The Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos) (to the south) and the Belém Palace (Palácio de Belém) (to the northeast) are also located nearby.

José Ângelo Cottinelli Telmo designed the square, along with the monumental fountain (Fonte Monumental), in honor of the Portuguese colonial empire for the 1940 Exposition Internationale des Português (Portuguese World Exhibition). The central fountain has a diameter of almost 30 meters. The surrounding green spaces feature plants arranged to represent the coats of arms of 32 former provinces of the colonial empire. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pra%C3%A7a_do_Imp%C3%A9rio
