Now it is a gardened area, sided by quickset hedges and trees (nettle-tree and stone pine), lake and sculptures, with the Afonso de Albuquerque, vice-king of India, statue, manueline style, standing out. This garden presents also four statues created by Barata Feio, placed at the square corners.

Located on the pit of the old Porta de Évora (Évora Gate), this space stands out for the aroma of the orange trees. Harmonious decoration, composed of geommetrical boxwoods, with two lakes in between them. Entrance by the door of the Largo 25 de Abril (April 25 square).
