Above, you see a section of the dome of a greenhouse with a neoclassic architecture mixed with iron.
The greenhouse is at the garden of a mansion, built in 1734, that was the summer residence of the bishops of Lisbon and of aristocratic families until 1940, when it was acquired by the Portuguese State.
It's currently occupied by the Institute of Tropical Science Research.
Unfortunately it's not open to the public and the photo was taken from the street.
I wonder which plants are pampered and grown in it...
