It's located on the Parque das Nações, where the World Expo'98 took place. Until the works started, this part of the city was full of industries and some what forgotten. When it was awarded to Lisbon the Expo'98, everything took a great makeover. The result couldn't be better since the area is now one of the most pleasant of the city.
