Jardins do Palácio de Cristal (Porto)

Portugal / Norte / Porto / Rua de Dom Manuel II
 garden, listed building / architectural heritage, local government, 19th century construction
This beautifully landscaped park is dominated by a huge domed pavilion (Pavilhão Rosa Mota) built in 1956 which replaced the 19th century iron-and-glass "crystal palace" and serves as a venue for concerts and sporting events.
It is surrounded by a lake, flowerbeds, and roaming peacocks, all overlooking the Douro river, of which there are superb views. There is also a multimedia library, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and the Museu Romântico da Quinta da Macieirinha.
Across the street from the park entrance is the gateway to the city's art galleries district (Rua Miguel Bombarda has the largest number).
