Jardim Cesário Verde is located in Praça Ilha do Faial, within the area known as Saldanha or Largo Dona Estefânia, in Lisbon. Despite its compact size, it is a clearly defined green space within the surrounding urban environment, encircled by the imposing presence of the city's buildings.
Its strategic position in the center of Lisbon makes it an easily accessible point for those exploring the area, offering a small oasis of tranquility in a bustling zone.
The garden's name is a clear reference to the Portuguese poet Cesário Verde. To mark this cultural connection, the space hosts a bust of the writer, a work created by the sculptor Maximiano Alves.
Inaugurated in 1955, this bust serves as a central and symbolic element of the garden, inviting visitors to recall or discover the importance of Cesário Verde's figure in Portuguese literature.
One of the garden's natural highlights is a specimen of Cedrus atlantica. This particular tree holds special recognition, having been classified as a Tree of Public Interest since 1947.
Its robust presence and official classification underscore the botanical value of the garden, lending it a unique characteristic and a point of interest for those who appreciate nature in an urban context.
Recently, the garden underwent rehabilitation work that improved the visitor experience. One of the most visible interventions is the renovation of the Portuguese artistic pavement, which now features new decorative motifs.
These pavement details, with representations of fauna and flora and even a star adorned with Viana hearts, add a touch of Portuguese art and tradition to the garden's surface, making the simple act of walking through the space a richer and more interesting visual experience.
