Location

The Liquidambar Avenue is located in the city of Porto, within the Serralves area. It is situated inside Serralves Park, forming an integral part of its extensive and well-maintained gardens. Its position contributes to the experience of quietude and connection with nature that the space offers, distancing itself from the faster pace of the city, despite being in an urban context.

The Aesthetics of the Liquidambars

This avenue is distinguished by the striking presence of its liquidambars, trees that offer a visual spectacle throughout the year. However, it is in autumn that their beauty becomes particularly evident. In this season, the leaves transform into a vibrant palette of reddish, orange, and purple hues, creating a corridor of color that invites strolls and serene contemplation. Even outside of autumn, the structure of these trees and the ambiance they create are remarkable.

A Landscape Legacy

The Liquidambar Avenue is not merely a collection of trees, but an element conceived in the landscape design of the Serralves space. As part of a complex classified as a National Monument, the avenue reflects the importance of design and natural preservation. It is a testament to the appreciation of green heritage and the art of shaping the landscape for public enjoyment. Walking through this place is to experience a fusion between cultivated nature and the history of an iconic Porto space.
