The land was formerly the residence of industrialist Henrique Lage and his wife, singer Gabriella Besanzoni. During the 1920s, Lage had the mansion remodeled by Italian architect Mario Vodret, with interior paintings by Salvador Payols Sabaté.

The National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) listed Parque Lage, on June 14 1957, as a historical and cultural heritage site for the city of Rio de Janeiro.^[1]

In the 1960s, the land became a public park, with walking trails through subtropical forest. The Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (Visual Arts School of Parque Lage) and a café open to the public operate from the former mansion.

The mansion was used as the British Olympic Team hospitality house and is notably featured in the 2003 music video for Snoop Dogg's single "Beautiful".

Rio de Janeiro offers its residents and tourists alike an exuberant natural environment combined with the modernity of a large metropolis. Parque Lage, in turn, boasts not only its natural sophistication, offering its visitors its beautiful forest, imperial palm trees, gardens built in the European style, fountains and benches for a good moment of relaxation, but also the sophistication and class of its architectural ensemble.^[2]
