Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian
Created in 1953 by testamentary disposal of Calouste Gulbenkian, the foundation was tribute of the Armenian collector to the country where he took shelter during the world war and where he lived till his death. This large architectonical complex includes the administration block, the library and the museum, the great auditorium and an amphitheatre (in the Park). On sunny days, the marvellous Foundation Gardens attract many visitors.
