Location

Parque Senhora da Luz is located in the homonymous urbanisation, integrating into the locality of Creixomil, in the municipality of Guimarães. Its location on the Monte da Senhora da Luz offers a position that allows for a peaceful view of the surrounding area, providing an accessible green space within this urban zone.

Historical Memory and Redevelopment

This green space is a guardian of local memory. Within it, there is a commemorative monument, inaugurated in 2001, marking an important milestone in the region's history: the donation of the “Villa Nominata de Creiximir” by King Ramiro II of León, in the year 926. In addition to its symbolic value, the park underwent significant redevelopment in 2008, an intervention that ensured its modernisation and good conditions for use.

Character and Atmosphere

Parque Senhora da Luz was designed as a place for leisure and tranquillity. It presents itself as an inviting space for moments of relaxation, where one can enjoy a serene stroll. Its design, a result of the recent redevelopment, aimed to create a pleasant and functional environment, integrating harmoniously into the urban landscape and offering a point of escape for those seeking a break.
