This work was funded by the Lisbon City Council and carried out by the Santo Ant\u00f3nio Parish Council.<\/p>\n<p>The intervention aimed to restore this emblematic space to the city, improving its conditions, safety, and urban integration, so that everyone can once again fully enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Tejo Lake, built in 1780, is part of a group of four lakes symmetrically located along the garden beds of Avenida da Liberdade. Both the West-North Lake and the East-North Lake feature, respectively, a stone fountain-statue, slightly larger than life-size, symbolizing, to the west, the Douro River and, to the east, the Tejo River, represented by a male figure resembling a god, watching over the evolution of the riverbanks.<\/p>\n<p>These allegorical sculptures, created by Alexandre Gomes for the Campo de Santana Fountain (never built), were later reused in the layout of the <em>Passeio P\u00fablico<\/em> and are currently placed at the northern end of each of these lakes. To the south, the other two lakes &#8211; west and east &#8211; complete the ensemble, similar to those located in the north, although without the presence of a fountain-statue.<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas; the President of the Santo Ant\u00f3nio Parish Council, Filipa Veiga; the Councillor for Culture, Diogo Moura; the Councillor for Green Spaces, Public Space and Urban Hygiene, Joana Baptista; the President of EPAL, Manuel Frexes; and the Vice-President of the <strong>Avenida da Liberdade Association<\/strong>, Eric Van Leuven.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;17506,17508,17510,17512,17514,17516&#8243;
