Cerco Garden

The Baroque garden has water ponds, wide paths, shady trees and a century-old water wheel that still works. Inspired by Versailles, the forest and the gardens extend over eight hectares, offering shady nooks, waterfalls and even a gem of a garden: the Garden of the Friars. This place is the perfect transition between the walled expanse of Tapada Real and the vastness of the National Palace of Mafra, which stands at one of its boundaries.
