Rua Esquerda

This Thursday, the use of tiles is explored ad nauseam: paper walls, fountains, alegretes, arches, benches, colonnades and pergolas. It can be said that the garden is more made of tiles that of plants. Notable are the multi-colored panels that decorate the galleries, banks of the gardens and the panels with religious motifs and country scenes.

This garden dates back to the late 18th century and has three wide balconies, decorated by boxwoods. At the time when it was restored, a fountain with a central coat of arms with tiles that picture horses was added. The tile panels, of the early 20th century, are by Pereira Cão. There are guided tours under previous appointment.

Quinta da Comenda
3660, São Pedro Do Sul
The attractiveness of this garden, with trees that stand out, resides in its boxwood in the shape of the Cross of the Order of Malta, that remained there until 1834. The drawing is sculpted on the building's blocks and in several elements of the farm. Visits must be previously reserved.
