Palácio de Cristal is one of the city parks. It's called like this(Crystal Palace) because of a iron and glass structure that  existed here till 1951, when it was demolished to build the Sports Pavillion known as Pavilhão Rosa Mota, the huge dome building which you can spot from various places through the city.

It's still a big issue in the city, because everybody still thinks that the old building was better than the actual one.

Nowadays, in the park, you can admire some sculptures, nice gardens, and nice river views. At the dome building there's frequent events like book markets, children activities or concerts.

During summer you can watch live concerts. There's also a public library and, close by, the Romantic Museum and Quinta da Macierinha (a farm).
