Park
Most of the four hectares of land in the estate consist of a densely treed park crossed by myriad roads and footpaths. The woods are neatly arranged in the lower parts of the estate, but left wild and disorganized in the upper parts, reflecting Carvalho Monteiro's belief in primitivism. Decorative, symbolic and leisure structures can be found everywhere throughout the park, all located within a few minutes walk from the palace.

And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.

And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”

And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
