Maybe it's interesting that there's a town in Portugal named "Monsanto." Its name comes from the Latin "Mons Sanctus," which means "Holy Mountain."

We've also got the Monsanto Forest Park in Lisbon. It was the result of a big foresting effort in 1929 that replaced the agricultural land that was in its place.

It's a very interesting place but the english Wikipedia page doesn't have much on it. Maybe I'll work on that.
