The Serra includes the buildings of a secularized Carmelite monastery, founded in 1628. The convent woods have long been known for their cypress, plane, evergreen oak, cork and other forest trees, many of which have stood for centuries and attained an immense size. A bull of Pope Gregory XV (1623), anathematizing trespassers and forbidding women to approach, is inscribed on a tablet at the main entrance; another bull, of Pope Urban VIII (1643), threatens with excommunication any person harming the trees. Located in the northwestern corner is the Mata Nacional do Buçaco (Buçaco Forest), an ancient walled arboretum.

Towards the close of the 19th century the Serra de Bussaco became one of the regular halting-places for foreign, and especially for British, tourists, on the overland route between Lisbon and Porto. The Palace Hotel of Bussaco (Palácio Hotel do Buçaco), built between 1888 and 1905 in an exuberant Neo-Manueline style, still attracts tourists.[citation needed]

In 1873 a monument was erected, on the southern slopes of the Serra, to commemorate the Battle of Buçaco, in which the French, under Marshal Masséna, were defeated by the Anglo-Portuguese Army, under Lord Wellington, on 27 September 1810.

[de] Serra do Buçaco

Die Serra do Buçaco (auch Serra do Bussaco) ist ein bewaldetes Gebirge in Mittel-Portugal. Ein Teil (105 ha) steht als Mata Nacional do Buçaco ("National-Wald von Bussaco") unter Naturschutz. Im Laufe der Portugiesischen Kolonialgeschichte brachten die Seefahrer Pflanzen aus den neuentdeckten Ländern mit, so dass der oft auch als verwunschener Märchenwald bezeichnete, von beschilderten Wander- und Spazierwegen durchzogene Wald mit 300 exotischen und 400 einheimischen Arten von Bäumen und Sträuchern eine ungewöhnliche botanische Mischung bietet.[1]

[es] Sierra de Busaco

La sierra de Busaco (Buçaco o Bussaco, según otra grafía usada antiguamente) se encuentra en Portugal, en la parroquia de Luso, perteneciente al concejo de Mealhada. Es especialmente conocida porque en el siglo XVII los carmelitas descalzos vallaron una parte, conocida actualmente como Bosque de Busaco (Mata do Buçaco, en portugués), y fundaron allí el convento de Santa Cruz de Busaco, plantando todo el perímetro con mucha variedad de árboles que actualmente forman un frondoso paraje, muy visitado, que se recorre por diversos senderos. En el siglo XIX se construyó un palacio real transformado posteriormente en el Palacio Hotel de Busaco, que está entre los hoteles más bellos del mundo.

[fr] Serra de Buçaco

La serra de Buçaco, qui s'est aussi écrite sous la forme Bussaco, et s'est autrefois appelée serra de Alcoba, est un relief du Portugal continental culminant à 549 mètres d'altitude au Ponta de Bussaco. Elle s'étend sur les territoires des communes de Mealhada, Mortagua et Penacova. La forêt actuelle de la serra de Buçaco a été plantée par l'ordre des carmélites déchaux, dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle ; les carmélites ont aussi construit le couvent de Santa Cruz de Buçaco, destiné à héberger cet ordre monastique, qui a existé de 1628 à 1834, date de l'extinction des ordres religieux au Portugal. Son emplacement est aujourd'hui occupé par l'hôtel palace Buçaco.
