Parque de Santa Cruz
Parque de Santa Cruz, Public garden in Sé Nova, Coimbra, Portugal
The Parque de Santa Cruz extends across several levels with stone staircases, walking paths, fountains, and ornamental water features throughout the space.
In 1131, the Augustinian Canons received this land and established the Quinta de Santa Cruz, which later transformed into a leisure space during the 18th century.
Three statues representing Faith, Charity, and Hope mark the entrance from Praça da República, leading to the Fountain of Nogueira with its triton sculpture.
The garden contains numerous benches along its paths, offering multiple access points and connections to central Coimbra through the Praça da República entrance.
Native and exotic tree species populate the park, including White Cedar, Himalayan Cedar, and Norfolk Pine, while providing habitat for black-capped warblers and robins.
