Location

The Anna Sommer Garden is located in the Pedrouços area of Lisbon, harmoniously integrated into the well-known riverside front of Belém. This green space complements the urban redevelopment of the area, extending along the Tagus River and connecting to other pedestrian paths that follow the riverfront. Its presence contributes to a natural continuity between the city and the riverside environment.

A Welcoming Space

Visitors to the Champalimaud Centre are welcomed by the Anna Sommer Garden, which serves as its main calling card. Designed to be a fully accessible location, this garden has no barriers or fences, inviting everyone to enter and enjoy its tranquility. Its vast expanse provides a sense of openness, integrating smoothly into the surrounding landscape.

Tribute and Natural Environment

This garden was created in tribute to Anna Sommer, the mother of the institution's founder. It is a large space, designed for public enjoyment, where nature meets architecture. The large trees offer generous shaded areas, ideal for moments of rest, while the stone paths invite relaxed strolls. The abundant vegetation envelops the visitor, returning an area of serenity and contact with greenery to the urban heart of Lisbon.
