Historical Notes

The creation of the Baixa de Santo António Park dates back to the mid-1980s. The project took advantage of the stream that crossed the site, transforming an area with pre-existing natural characteristics into a public garden. This intervention endowed the center of Aveiro with a new and valuable garden space, which has since served the community and its visitors as a fundamental area for leisure and the enjoyment of the urban environment.
