The Panoramic Garden is located in the Cais do Carvão area, in the city of Funchal, and offers a privileged perspective of the Atlantic Ocean. This space directly connects the Passeio Público Marítimo to Estrada Monumental, integrating into the coastal landscape of the Madeiran capital.
Its position allows visitors to enjoy extensive sea views, making it a prime spot for observing the sea and the coastline.
Inaugurated in April 2005, this garden covers an area of approximately 5400 square meters. Its design was conceived to mirror the island's characteristic orography, featuring terraces that recall the traditional Madeiran agricultural steps.
Botanical diversity is one of the central aspects of this space, with its garden areas exploring distinct themes. Here, one can observe flora representing the island's coast, species typical of medium altitudes, including some examples of Laurisilva, and an area dedicated to tropical flora, which adds color and exuberance to the ensemble.
The Panoramic Garden integrates artistic elements that enrich the visitor's experience. Contributions from the Madeiran visual artist Rigo are visible through tile panels, which harmonize with the natural and landscape environment of the site. These panels frequently evoke the views that can be appreciated from the garden, such as an artistic representation of the Ilhéu do Lido.
The union of nature, landscape design, and art makes this garden a point of interest for those seeking a tranquil pause, surrounded by an aesthetic environment and with the impressive ocean views as a backdrop.
