There are several pieces of urban art of display in the garden some of them, from Italian artists such as Giuseppe Mazzuoli and Bernardino Ludovici and dating from the 18th century. Other artworks date from the Portuguese World Exhibition in 1940 including tile panels with colonial themes, marble sculptures and busts of Africans and Asians.
