Across from Estrela Basilica is this delightful neighborhood park,
one of the loveliest in the city and a favorite with
families.
There are exotic plants and trees, a small duck-dotted lake,
various sculptures, a children's playground, and an attractive wrought-iron gazebo that serves as an old-fashioned bandstand.
The pond-side café is a good place for a break.
Beyond the park is the English Cemetery, founded in 1717 and
originally shared with the Dutch community. Novelist Henry Fielding, author
of Tom Jones, died during a visit to Lisbon and is buried here. If you're curious, ring a bell to be let in.
