Dona Leonor Forest in Caldas da Rainha

Dona Leonor Forest in Caldas da Rainha

Dona Leonor Forest in Caldas da Rainha, together with Parque D. Carlos I, constitutes the set of environmental areas with which the city is enriched.

It is here that the important underground water resources are found, of irreplaceable value for the cities, and whose need for protection would dictate their construction.

With the development of thermalism and its association with tourism at the end of the 19th century, Mata Rainha Dona Leonor was another of the spaces recovered by Rodrigo Berquó, although not as drastically as others.

Located in the area surrounding the hospital complex, Dona Leonor Forest in Caldas da Rainha corresponds to a structure of plots and balconies, distributed by leafy boulevards, where a significant set of flora and birdlife is found, as in Parque D. Carlos I .
