Santa Cruz Park/ Jardim da Sereia
|
Popularly known as the Sereia (Mermaid) Garden, this dates from the 18th century and was once part of the grounds of the Santa Cruz Monastery.
The entrance is a triumphal arch topped by 3 statues representing Faith, Hope and Charity, flanked by 2 turrets with baroque decoration, leading to an open area with a scenic fountain at the end. This includes a statue of a triton (popularly confused with a mermaid – hence the park’s name) opening a dolphin’s mouth.
