    It is possible to appreciate a unique landscape of the river and the city

    The entrance is made through a sumptuous gate, followed by the garden and a plane tree, with the Spring Fountain, dating from the 17th century. Noteworthy are the set of statues facing away from the city, works of great plastic value to evoke the Fortaleza, Diogenes and Asia. Others, among the trees and a little older, symbolize Faith, Hope, Charity and Death. In addition to the architectural heritage, the space is also worth visiting for its arboreal setting, gardens and plants, the lush riverside vegetation that borders the banks of the river and the exceptional view over the city. 

    The property was acquired in 1979 by the Fiscal Guard, which undertook a major undertaking to recover the space, since at the time it was in an advanced state of degradation.

    In addition to the architectural heritage, the space is also worth visiting for its arboreal setting, gardens and plants, the lush riverside vegetation that borders the river and the exceptional view over the city, where everything harmoniously combines, in a bucolic touch that brings mind the nostalgia of other times, full of romanticism and beauty.
