The Municipal Garden is located in the city center of Paços de Ferreira, nestled within the area that embraces Praça da República. Its central position makes it an easily accessible landmark for those exploring the town, offering a green respite in the heart of the urban environment.
This garden provides a welcoming and serene atmosphere, inviting visitors to a relaxing break. It is a space designed for the enjoyment of those seeking tranquility in the city's daily life, ideal for moments of contemplation or a simple stroll along its paths.
Among the natural elements that comprise the garden, a three-hundred-year-old sessile oak stands out. This imposing tree, with its centuries-old age, is one of the most distinctive features of the site and a true icon for Paços de Ferreira, bearing witness to the passage of time.
The garden is also a stage for the historical memory of the municipality, housing a statue dedicated to Dr. Leão de Meireles. This personality played a fundamental role in the early days of Paços de Ferreira's formation, and his sculptural presence in the garden serves as a reminder of the legacy and figures who shaped the region's identity.
