Location

Located in the historic city of Portalegre, in Alto Alentejo, the Jardim Da Muralha Dos Muros is harmoniously integrated into the urban fabric of the town of São Lourenço. This green space occupies a privileged position, adjacent to the ancient walls that once defended the city. Its location allows for serene contemplation of the surrounding environment, whether it's the nearby urban fabric or the wider regional landscape, giving it the character of a refuge within the city.

The Encounter between Nature and History

This singular space materializes the encounter between nature and the living history of Portalegre. The garden develops in a symbiotic relationship with the imposing walls, which rise as silent testaments to the past. Here, the carefully arranged vegetation, from shade-providing trees to flowerbeds, creates an atmosphere of tranquility and freshness, contrasting with the solidity of the ancient stone.

Environment of Peace and Contemplation

Conceived as an urban refuge, the Jardim Da Muralha Dos Muros provides an environment of peace and serenity. Its paths invite tranquil strolls, allowing visitors to enjoy moments of recollection and contemplation. It is a place where the rustling of leaves or the singing of birds replace the daily hustle and bustle, inviting a pause and a renewal of the spirit.

Landscaping Elements and Details

Throughout the Jardim Da Muralha Dos Muros, visitors will find a carefully composed landscape. The paths, sometimes winding, guide through different areas, where strategically placed benches offer points for rest and observation. The selection of plant species contributes to the chromatic and textural diversity of the space, creating a pleasant environment in different seasons and complementing the imposing presence of the defensive structures.
