Visit to Quinta dos Loridos, where the largest oriental garden of Europe, the impressive Buddha Eden. With about 35 hectares, the garden is in response to the destruction of the Bamyan Buddhas Giants in what was one of the biggest cultural barbarous acts, erasing Memory masterpieces of the late period of Gandhara Art.
Among Buddhas, pagodas, terracotta statues and several carefully placed sculptures of vegetation, it is estimated that were used more than 6000 tons of marble and granite to build this monumental work.
The central staircase is the focal point of the garden where the golden buddhas quietly give welcome.
In the central lake we can see the KOI fish, and the carved dragons rising water.
You will also have the opportunity to observe the 700 terracotta soldiers hand-painted, each of them unique, lying buried some 2200 years ago as there is.
Come see a unique place of peace and tranquility that will surprise you.
