Roque Gameiro Garden is located in the Cais do Sodré area, a part of Lisbon known for its dynamism and centrality. It is integrated into a vibrant urban space, serving as a landmark in a highly circulated area.
This garden hosts several elements of interest to visitors. At its center, the sculpture known as "Homem do Leme" (Helmsman), a work by Francisco Santos, stands out. Complementing the space's aesthetic is an old kiosk. This kiosk is notable for its architecture and its six Art Nouveau tile panels, painted in 1915 by José Pinto, giving it particular historical and artistic value.
Despite being set in a predominantly urban context, the garden offers a touch of nature. It is possible to find some vegetation here, including trees that provide shade and soften the environment. One particular tree, a Tipuana tipu, was classified in 2001 as being of Public Interest, highlighting its relevance and striking presence on site.
Roque Gameiro Garden, also known as Cais do Sodré Garden, is an integral part of the landscape of this riverside area and transport hub. Over time, the space has evolved, undergoing redevelopment interventions that sought to improve its use and the balance between the green area and the functional needs of its surroundings, offering a point of pause or passage in one of the city's busiest locations.
