ALAMEDA
The Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques is a street and garden in Lisbon. It was laid out in honour of the first king of Portugal, Afonso Henriques. It is just over three hectares in size and consists of a small garden at the eastern end and two large green areas separated by Avenida Almirante Reis. The Instituto Superior Técnico is located at the western end. Between the garden and the lawns is the Luminous Fountain, one of the largest monumental works in the Estado Novo.
