Tribute to Fernando Pessoa

The garden's name is a tribute to Fernando Pessoa, one of the most important and influential poets in Portuguese and world literature.

Although the garden is a place for leisure and relaxation, its name evokes the memory and work of an unmissable literary figure, subtly inviting reflection and appreciation of Portuguese culture.
