This document of technical specifications is included in a set of documents [i] developed by the landscape architect António Viana Barreto, after being invited, in May 1976, to carry out the project of revitalization or adaptation of certain areas of the park, which he oversaw until December 1979.
Viana Barreto defined as the main objectives the consolidation of the principles that had been defined as fundamental in 1961.
His actions focused on:
– the southern area of the garden;
– the replacement of the elm forest, located in the west, by a honeyberry forest;
– flowerbeds and courtyards.
