Location

The Antonica Spring Park is located in the district of Santarém, in the municipality of Coruche, specifically in the locality of Couço. This unique green space is situated in the Industrial Zone of Couço, emerging as a serene and welcoming counterpoint to its more developed surroundings.

Its location offers visitors an unexpected environment of tranquility, providing a natural refuge where one can enjoy the calm and beauty of the local environment, set within a context not always directly associated with areas of leisure and contemplation.

A Nature Retreat

Characterized by its park essence, the Antonica Spring Park invites leisure and introspection. It is a place where the presence of nature is felt through its spacious areas and wooded zones, designed to welcome those seeking a moment of pause.

The very name of the park, "Parque da fonte da Antonica" (Antonica Spring Park), suggests the centrality of a spring or water feature that gives it a distinctive and refreshing character. This element is the heart of the park, contributing to its fresh atmosphere and its identity as a green space dedicated to the enjoyment of nature.

Water and Landscape Essence

The "Fonte da Antonica" (Antonica Spring) constitutes the most striking element and the epicentre of this park. Its presence is fundamental to the local ecosystem, contributing to a fresh and inviting environment that can attract various species of Ribatejo fauna and enrich the surrounding vegetation with varied and exuberant flora.

The park offers its visitors the opportunity to enjoy direct contact with nature, through its walking trails and tranquil nooks. It is a place conducive to contemplative leisure, where the calm of the natural environment allows an escape from the daily hustle and a deeper appreciation of the natural heritage of the Couço region.
