Location

The Maria Angelina de Carvalho Garden is a green space located in the City of Maia, more specifically in the urban area of Mogos. Its position within the urban fabric offers a green refuge that harmoniously integrates with the surrounding streets and buildings. It serves as a place for rest and socialising, conveniently accessible for anyone exploring this area of Maia.

Purpose and Design

This garden was conceived with the clear objective of harmonising with the surrounding built landscape, creating a valuable leisure area for the community and visitors. Its design features an organic pedestrian path that guides visitors through several distinct areas, including extensive lawns and a space specially designed for the elderly. Its structure naturally connects the garden with the urban roads that delimit it.

Atmosphere and Seasons

One of the striking aspects of the Maria Angelina de Carvalho Garden is its capacity for visual transformation throughout the seasons. The trees in the garden not only contribute to its overall setting but also aesthetically enrich the site with the chromatic diversity of their foliage, which becomes particularly vibrant during the winter months. The combination of the trees' varying volumes and the shapes of the shrub patches, in contrast with the lawns and dry meadow areas, creates multiple points of visual interest, balancing the local architecture and providing a pleasant environment for the observer.
