Going up from Rossio to the Museum of Almeida Moreira, in Largo Major Teles, we find a small garden with dazzling hues offered by pansies, petunias, roses, marigolds, reed begonias and agapanthus.

Two magnificent cypress trees flank one of its entrances and a holly specimen stands firm in this sloping place. Symbol of love, the rose is an attraction in this garden. With delicate petals like a mother’s caress, the roses complete the peace conveyed by the bronze sculpture of a boy sleeping in his mother’s lap. Guardians of the statue, two fragrant deciduous magnolia trees herald the miracle of spring.
