Abstract (EN): The aim of this dissertation is to bridge the gap which existed in terms of our knowledge on parks ans gardens designed by landscape gardners from Porto, in the final decades of the 19th century and early decades of the 20th century, before the implementation of the teaching of Landscape Architecture in Portugal and the blooming of modernism in garden art. It has been organized and developed through the research and the review of the work of two horticulturists and landscape gardeners - Jeronymo Monteiro da Costa and Jacintho de Mattos - in the period between 1855 and 1938 - and through the characterization of the horticultural context in which their work as designers emerged and developed. The conclusion is that, given the quality, significance and expression of the parks and gardens designed by these landscape gardeners, they correspond to referential concepts in landscape art in Portugal, by following the formal typologies in vogue in Europe, by adjusting to the shift in conceptual paradigms and, up to a certain extent, by embracing models characteristic of the period which preceded modernism in garden art
