Location

Located in the locality of Malta, an integral part of Vila do Conde, Largo dos Carvalhos is situated at a convergence point of the local urban fabric. This space was designed to integrate into the parish's urban layout, marking the junction between Rua Souto do Gago, Rua da Lage, and Rua de Moures.

Its position grants it a discreet centrality, serving as a thoroughfare and meeting point in the heart of the locality.

A Revitalized Space

Largo dos Carvalhos underwent a revitalization intervention aimed at reorganizing it as a public amenity area. This action breathed new life into the square, with a particular focus on the creation of green areas.

The current design includes flowerbeds and landscaped areas that contribute to a fresher, more natural environment. The careful delimitation of the space provides visual and functional clarity, improving the user experience and ensuring the vitality of the vegetation through a modern irrigation system.

Environment and Functionality

Beyond its aesthetic and natural aspect, Largo dos Carvalhos is a place designed for activity and well-being. It stands out for the inclusion of equipment dedicated to urban fitness practice, inviting its visitors to an active break.

This functionality transforms it into a dynamic space, that goes beyond a mere thoroughfare. It is a place where one can enjoy a moment of exercise or simply relax outdoors, surrounded by carefully arranged vegetation.
