Location

Situated in the North Olivais area, this garden is integrated into Lisbon's urban landscape. It is located specifically in the vicinity of Rua General Silva Freire, in an area that reflects the local inhabitants' way of life. Its proximity to a public transport hub makes it easily accessible, organically integrating it into the city's daily life.

Tribute to a Musical Icon

Jardim Zé Pedro is a posthumous and permanent tribute to the memory of Zé Pedro, the renowned guitarist of Xutos e Pontapés. This choice holds deep significance, as the musician had strong ties to the Olivais parish, being a native of this Lisbon area. At the heart of the garden, a statue pays tribute to his artistic legacy and strong connection to the local community, marking several years since his passing. It is a clear recognition of his cultural impact and his bond with the neighborhood.

A Space for Urban Contemplation

This garden offers a tranquil corner for those seeking a break from the city's pace. While not a large space, its design invites reflection and rest, providing a serene environment. It is a place where the memory of music intertwines with the green environment, creating an experience distinct from a common city park. It allows visitors direct contact with a significant cultural tribute, framed within a Lisbon neighborhood setting.
