Symbolism and Equestrian Legacy

The name "Equuspolis" is itself an element laden with symbolism. Its etymology unites "equus," the Latin term for horse, with "polis," the Greek word for city, suggesting the meaning of "city of the horse" or "place of the horse."

This designation is not arbitrary in Golegã, a locality that proudly bears the title of Capital of the Horse. The park thus assumes a role as a space that celebrates and perpetuates this cultural and historical identity, reinforcing the indissoluble link between the local community and the equestrian world. Its conception aims to provide an environment that reflects the tranquility and harmony associated with rural life and the remarkable legacy of horses in the region.
