Located in the heart of Porto, the Parque de Serralves extends over 18 hectares starting from the Casa de Serralves, with gardens, woods, a rose garden and a romantic lake, an authentic refuge for those who want to escape the bustle of the city.
It is one of the most remarkable examples of twentieth century landscape architecture. The garden was conceived between 1932 and 1940 by Jacques Gréber (1882-1962), a French architect and urban planner who carried out an intense professional activity in the United States and Canada, creating French-style gardens for millionaires. In the park there are several areas of interest, including a rose garden, the Jardim do Relógio de Sol and the Jardim das Camélias (where you can buy aromatic herbs and other plants).
The "Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves", designed by the architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, is also involved in the landscape project and blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.
