The Praça do Império Garden is located between the Jeronimo’s Monastery and the Discoveries Monument and is flanked by the Belém Cultural Centre. The garden was laid out for the 1940 Portuguese World Exhibition, which celebrated both the 800th anniversary of independence and the 300th anniversary of the Restoration. The central feature is an imposing fountain, which is lit up on special occasions, and has coats of arms around its basin. The park also displays 32 coats of arms in the layout of its hedges and flowers and there are four ponds and two sculptural groups depicting mythological horses.
