Maria Lamas Garden is located in Torres Novas, in the urban area that corresponds to the union of parishes of São Pedro, Lapas, and Ribeira Branca. This green space is integrated into the city fabric, making it accessible to those exploring the locality on foot. Its position allows it to be a natural point of reference in the daily lives of the population and its visitors.
Recently, the garden underwent a requalification aimed at optimizing its design and functionality. The intervention focused on creating greater visual openness, removing denser vegetation, and reducing the elevation changes of the lawns. The result is a more expansive and luminous environment, where grassy areas and existing trees predominate, providing a sense of lightness and conviviality in the heart of the town.
This garden pays homage to Maria Lamas, a figure whose legacy is marked by a central statue in the space. The statue is a point of interest, especially at dusk, when it is illuminated by a solar-powered projector. The overall ambiance is inviting, with modern urban furniture and benches distributed throughout the garden, offering places for a peaceful break or a moment of contemplation.
Designed for the comfort and activity of its users, Maria Lamas Garden includes equipment dedicated to light physical exercises. These elements complement the leisure areas, allowing visitors to combine relaxation with well-being maintenance. It is a versatile place, suitable for both a relaxed stroll and a brief outdoor exercise session.
