Layout and Natural Elements

This garden was designed in 2000, as part of the expansion project for the Ethnological Museum, and its landscape design is the work of Architect Eduardo Trigo de Sousa. The design stands out for its spaciousness, with vast lawns unfolding into large clearings, interspersed with a diversity of trees and shrubs.

The paths that run through the garden are made of Portuguese cobblestone, giving it a traditional touch and integrating it into the local landscape architecture. The variety of vegetation, which includes trees of different sizes and foliage, contributes to the natural beauty and balance of the space throughout the seasons.

It features several benches, strategically placed in small cobbled squares, inviting moments of rest. The garden offers an experience of serenity, allowing visitors to enjoy the calm and generosity of the green space, making it an invitation to a tranquil break in the heart of the city.
