Location

The Jardim Do Deposito da Agua is located in Samora Correia, a locality within the municipality of Benavente. Its position, sometimes slightly elevated in relation to the surrounding houses, offers a particular perspective over the urban area and the wider surroundings, characteristic of Ribatejo.

This green space emerges as a tranquil corner in the urban fabric, inviting a moment of pause and contemplation, away from the daily bustle, yet still easily accessible for those exploring the locality.

The Legacy of the Reservoir

In the center of the garden stands the structure that gives it its name: the water reservoir. This architectural element, which once played a vital role in supplying the community, is today the focal point of the space. Its presence recalls the history of local development and the importance of water in the lives of settlements.

Although its original function was purely practical, the robustness of the construction and its peculiar shape contribute to the garden's visual identity, integrating into the landscape as a testament to the past.

A Green Corner

The garden itself develops around the reservoir, offering a pleasant environment with landscaped areas. Gentle paths meander through the vegetation, inviting short walks or simply enjoying the quietude of the place. The presence of different plant species creates a setting that evolves with the seasons, presenting varied colors and textures throughout the year.

It is a space designed for the enjoyment of the community, a green lung that provides a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a moment of tranquility outdoors.
