The spot is easily identifiable by its address on Travessa José Agostinho de Macedo, set within an environment where green spaces predominate, with trees and vegetation framing the swing.

A Local Initiative

This swing was inaugurated in mid-2020, representing a recent addition to Benfica's landscape. Its creation stemmed from an initiative aimed at enhancing the area and revitalizing this part of the parish, intended to be introduced in a new way. With its installation, the Baloiço de Benfica has established itself as a landmark and point of interest for visitors to the locality.
