A Cerca de São Paulo is located in the heart of the village of Portel, providing a central and accessible green space for visitors to this Alentejo locality. Situated within the urban fabric of the Bairro Dias de Carvalho, it offers a tranquil and easily reachable refuge for moments of pause.
This green space has deep roots in the history of Portel, being recognized as the oldest garden in the village. Its history is intrinsically linked to the former Convent of São Paulo, from which its name derives. Although the current layout of the garden was established in the 1980s, the site preserves the memory of a past where tranquility and nature united with conventual life, offering a continuity to centuries of use as an area for contemplation.
A Cerca de São Paulo is a true oasis in the urban environment, standing out for its exuberant and mature vegetation. The space is enriched by the presence of diverse arboreal species, many of them centuries-old, which create inviting shade and a cool atmosphere. Several lakes complement the serene landscape, adding an element of tranquility and inviting the observation of local fauna. It is an ideal place for a calm stroll, allowing one to enjoy the harmony between nature and the built environment.
