Cultural places in Portugal

Theme Park • Lourinhã, Lisboa

Brickopolis Lourinhã, in Abelheira, transforms LEGO® bricks into a playful and meticulous reading of Portugal in miniature. The permanent exhibition includes the LEGO® brick diorama recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest in the world: a 70.614-square-metre construction, achieved on 3 April 2025 by Brickopolis Lourinhã, from PDL — Parque dos Dinossauros da Lourinhã. The ensemble features Portuguese places and references, such as the great wave of Nazaré, Lisbon Airport in the 1950s, the houses of Costa Nova and Dino Parque Lourinhã. Its scale impresses through detail: the record registered by Guinness identifies 239,444 bricks, 366 vehicles, 176 trees and 2,328 flowers. Among streets, buildings, figures and successive scenes, Brickopolis presents creativity as a way of observing the territory.

Garden/Park • Lourinhã, Lisboa

Dino Parque Lourinhã, in Abelheira, in the municipality of Lourinhã, turns the region’s palaeontological richness into an open-air journey through the history of life. Opened in February 2018, it is presented as the largest open-air museum in Portugal. The route brings together more than 200 life-size models of dinosaurs and other animals, scientifically verified, distributed across six themed trails that cover major stages in the history of the Earth, from the Palaeozoic to the Cenozoic, including Sea Monsters and the Ice Age. The museum space presents fossils, original dinosaur eggs and replicas from the Museu da Lourinhã, including material associated with Torvosaurus and the Lourinhanosaurus nest. In the Live Lab, fossil preparation makes the patient work of palaeontology visible. Among pine woods, walkways and monumental figures, the park brings science, territory and imagination together without losing its link to local Jurassic finds.
