This garden is intrinsically linked to the former residence of Bento Carqueja, a figure whose name echoes in the history of Oliveira de Azeméis. More than just a green space, it represents an extension of the house, reflecting a taste for botany and the creation of environments for leisure and contemplation.

Light filters through the foliage, creating plays of shadow that enhance the sense of refuge.
The garden's design, though simple, reveals attention to detail. Elements reminiscent of more traditional Portuguese garden aesthetics can be observed, with lawn areas, well-maintained flowerbeds, and, at times, the discreet presence of small decorative or water features that contribute to the relaxing atmosphere. Each corner seems designed to offer a different perspective and a new sensation, making the Bento Carqueja House Garden a space that appeals to the senses and to serenity.
