Its position offers direct access to walks along the riverside, combining the village experience with the proximity of the aquatic landscape.
The Ribeira Square presents itself as an open square, designed for conviviality and contemplation. Its layout is simple and functional, inviting people to linger. This location is an example of how urban spaces can be designed to offer serenity and a sense of community, even in busier areas. It is a pause point that allows one to observe the daily life of the locality in a relaxed atmosphere, without excessive adornment.
The name 'Ribeira' refers to Esposende's ancestral connection with aquatic elements, whether fluvial or maritime.

Currently, the square provides a tranquil and inviting atmosphere, ideal for a brief rest or simply to enjoy the breeze and the riverside ambiance of Esposende. It is a place that, in its simplicity, invites appreciation of its surroundings.
