Along the banks of the Rio Tinto, the Parque Oriental develops as a linear park that connects Freixo to the Urban Park of Rio Tinto. Great similarities can be found between the Occidental Park of the City of Porto, the Urban Park of Ovar and the Oriental Park, the three designed by the landscape architect Sidónio Pardal. According to the author, the project consisted of "transforming a compartmentalized and uneven space of fields into a natural continuum, grassy, wooded and with a network of paths where people enjoy spending their free time in peace"._cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
The property was purchased in the 16th century. XVIII by D. Lourenço Amorim da Gama Lobo. The palace, whose authorship is attributed to Nicolau Nasoni, was built in 1759, never reaching completion, since the nascent body was not built. The majestic mansion is located on a landscaped terrace, facing the Campanhã Valley and the Douro. The main entrance gate on Rua de Bonjóia, with the coat of arms of D. Lourenço Amorim da Gama Lobo, gives access to the French garden with camellias, which extends to the exterior staircase of the palace. The gardens continue to the south with an arrangement of levels on different levels. In 1995, the Quinta was acquired by the Porto City Council.
