Location

Located in the heart of Olhão, Jardim João Serra is situated in a central area of the city, easily accessible. Its location allows visitors to enjoy a green space integrated into urban life, close to prominent buildings such as the Palace of Justice and the Railway Station. It is a discreet, yet striking, landmark in Olhão's cityscape.

An Invitation to Rest

This garden offers a serene environment, a small green lung where one can take a break. It is characterized by leafy trees that provide abundant shade, making it a pleasant place to rest, especially on warmer days. The garden benches invite a moment of tranquility, ideal for observing the city's rhythm or simply enjoying an instant of calm.

Marks of Time

Jardim João Serra has an interesting history, originally inaugurated in 1903. Its trajectory was not continuous, having been partially affected by the construction of the current Palace of Justice in 1963. However, the space was later recovered and remodeled, maintaining its function as a leisure and social area for the population. This garden is, therefore, a testament to Olhão's urban evolution, preserving its essence as a place historically valued by its inhabitants.
