Parque Marechal Carmona Cascais Portugal

The wild Parque Marechal Carmona is a shady retreat from the seaside, with a duck pond, birch and pine trees, palms and eucalyptus, rose gardens and flowering shrubs.

 

The grounds harbour the Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães , the whimsical early-19th-century mansion complete with castle turrets and Arabic cloister. The lavishly decorated interior houses 17th-century Indo-Portuguese cabinets, Oriental silk tapestries and 350-year-old azulejos .
