Located in the Hortas area, in Penela, Park Águas Romanas is situated in an area that invites tranquility. It is set in surroundings that establish a link between the more developed core of the village and an environment closer to nature, characterized by the presence of aquatic elements and a serene atmosphere.
The name "Águas Romanas" evokes a possible historical connection of the site to ancient times, suggesting its importance in the harnessing or management of water in the region during the Roman period. Although no large structures from that era are visible, the name keeps alive the idea of an ancestral use of this natural resource that still defines the park's character today.
Water is a fundamental element that shapes the park's identity and environment. Its presence, perhaps in the form of small streams or fountains, contributes to the refreshing and relaxing atmosphere of the space. The sound of water and its visual appeal create a pleasant setting for those seeking a moment of rest.
This park offers a well-maintained environment, ideal for a peaceful stroll or simply for being outdoors. The paths invite you to explore the space slowly, appreciating the vegetation and finding spots to sit and enjoy the serene surroundings. It is an invitation for a break from daily life.
