Garden of Santa Barbara, Renaissance garden near Archbishop's Palace in Braga, Portugal.
The Santa Barbara Garden presents geometric flower beds with boxwood hedges, cedar topiaries, and stone architectural elements arranged in symmetrical patterns.
The garden underwent modernization in 1955 by designer Jose Cardoso da Silva, incorporating medieval arches from the adjacent fourteenth-century Archbishop's Palace.
The garden incorporates numerous stone elements, including statues, cornices, and coats of arms that represent the religious and civic heritage of Braga.
The garden remains open throughout the year at Rua da Doutor Justino Cruz, providing a central location for visitors to experience Portuguese garden design.
The central fountain displays a statue of Saint Barbara, while the northern patio contains fragments of a medieval arcade from the original palace structure.
