The Waterwheel and its Significance

The central element that gives this garden its name and identity is a waterwheel. Although it is a contemporary structure, its presence harks back to the historical importance of water and agricultural practices in the Alentejo region. It functions as a scenic and symbolic element, with the gentle murmur of water complementing the garden's atmosphere.

The waterwheel, along with its associated reflecting pool, invites observation and reflection, connecting visitors to the cultural and rural heritage of the territory.

Environment and Landscape Design

Jardim da Nora was designed as an outdoor leisure and wellness space. It features extensive areas of well-maintained lawn, dotted with flowerbeds that add color and life to the scenery. The planting of trees offers shaded areas, especially appreciated during the hottest days of Alentejo.

The pedestrian paths that wind through the garden invite tranquil strolls, allowing visitors to explore the space and enjoy its characteristic landscape architecture.

It is an ideal place for those seeking a moment of quietude, whether for a relaxing walk, reading a book, or simply enjoying the calm that surrounds it. The combination of abundant vegetation and the water element of the waterwheel contributes to a peaceful atmosphere.
