Jardim do Carregal, Public garden in Miragaia, Portugal.
This green space features a lake with a bridge, surrounded by tall trees including rare sequoias and seasonal flowering plants throughout the grounds.
Landscape architect Jerónimo Monteiro da Costa designed the garden in 1897 while serving as Director of Municipal Gardens in Porto.
The garden contains a statue of professor Abel Salazar, created by sculptor Hélder Carvalho in 2009, facing the Institute of Biomedical Sciences.
Located behind Santo António Hospital, the garden provides seating areas, walking paths, and restroom facilities for visitors throughout the day.
The name Carregal derives from carrega, a wetland grass that grew along the banks of the Rio Frio near the current garden location.
