Situated in the Pêro Filho neighborhood, in the town of Crato, this garden is integrated into the urban fabric of the village. It occupies the space where an old mill once stood, which gives it a historical distinctiveness in its setting.
The Crato Thematic Garden was born from the refurbishment of a site formerly occupied by an old mill, which was in a state of disrepair. This transformation process reclaimed the space, converting it into a leisure spot. Parts of the original building's exterior walls were preserved, giving the place a mystique that combines the history of the old industrial facility with the modernity of the new project.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this garden is the vast presence of water elements. Water mirrors predominate, many of them interconnected by channels that evoke the original milling process. There are also dry fountains with interactive jets and a misting system that helps cool the environment, especially on warmer days.
The Thematic Garden was conceived as a space for leisure and well-being, providing a serene atmosphere for its visitors. With its extensive lawns and open areas, it is a suitable place for a peaceful stroll or for an outdoor reading moment. Its design offers a green and refreshing environment, ideal for enjoying quietude.
