About Victory Garden
The garden (Jardim da Vitória) opened in 1871 to mark the Portuguese victory over a Dutch attempt to take Macau in June 1622. At its centre stands an octagonal stone monument by the sculptor Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, carrying the Portuguese emblem, laurel leaves and a cross, with an excerpt from Camões's Os Lusíadas on the pedestal. Stone terraces lead up from the avenue to this small park, which has flowerbeds, trees and benches.
