Santa Bárbara Garden

Breaking up the grey landscape made up of the buildings that occupy that area of Braga's historic center, the Jardim de Santa Bárbara is a public garden, unmistakable thanks to the bright colors that emanate from its well-kept flowers. This is the ideal refuge for those looking for a quiet space, perfect for reading a book or sharing vows of love.

With a 17th-century fountain in the center, crowned by a statue of Santa Bárbara that once belonged to the Convento dos Remédios, this garden, created in the 20th century, is one of the most beautiful spots in Braga. At the bottom of the garden, the high stone wall with battlements resembles a castle, giving the space a special beauty. However, this wall, erected at the end of the Middle Ages, is only a façade belonging to the Paço Episcopal Bracarense (also referred to as the Paço Arquiepiscopal or Paço Medieval de Braga).
