Gardens of Queluz Palace

In the first part of the project we obtained surveys, final plans for the works and develop a budget that allows determining, with precision, the works to be executed and the methodologies by which the work should be done, as well as the corresponding costs in order to complete the entire Hydraulic System’s Restoration Project.

The different parts of the project will be assessed and executed by specialists, namely in the areas:
- hydraulics for the Canal and the other water features;
- glazed tiles conservation on the Canal;
- lead conservation on the Jardim Principal water features;
- stone conservation generally in all water features and some hydraulic structures.

The Lead sculptures subproject is being carried out in collaboration with WMF-Britain, who is mainly responsible for its funding.

The final objective is to obtain data referring to technical, scientific and financial aspects, which form the basis of the information necessary for the correct planning of the second part of the project. This consists of the flawless execution of the works which lead to the global restoration of the 18th century hydraulic system and water features, as well as the irrigation system of the gardens.
