Houses and Gardens of Portugal

Trama

This lavishly illustrated, region-by-region tour unveils some of Europe's best-kept secrets -- the historic manor houses and gardens of Portugal. The wealth obtained from Portugal's colonies in Brazil and the East Indies in the 16th and 17th centuries afforded a spectacular expression of ideas in building design and landscaping.
