Location

The Camellias Garden is located in Vila Real, within the Quinchosos area. Its central location in the city gives it the role of an accessible green space, providing a point of tranquility within the urban environment of Vila Real.

Origin and Transformation

This garden occupies a space with its own history in the urban evolution of Vila Real. Before becoming the Camellias Garden, the site was known in the late 19th century as Largo do Chafariz, and later as Praça Lopo Vaz. In those times, the area was predominantly devoid of trees. Its conversion into a garden marked a significant change, with the aim of providing the city with a landscaped space and enriching its urban landscape.

The Character of the Camellias

As its name suggests, camellias are the distinctive element of this garden. The presence of these ornamental flowers, known for their varied colors and delicate beauty, defines the atmosphere of the place. Throughout the different seasons, but especially during the flowering period, visitors can appreciate the diversity and charm of the camellias that populate this space.

An Urban Refuge

The Camellias Garden offers more than just a botanical display; it is an invitation to quietude. It serves as a serene refuge in the city, ideal for those seeking a moment of rest or a calm stroll. The careful maintenance of the vegetation contributes to a relaxing experience, where the tranquility of the greenery stands out in the heart of the urban environment.
