Parque da Alta Vila
Presentation
The Park, property of municipal interest, is a good example of revivalist architecture, whose romantic motivation is proven, for example, by the watchtowers and battlements carved on the walls that enclose it, revealing medieval influences, or even in the internal structure of the park, punctuated by small bridges, lakes and plantations of exotic trees.

Particularities
The existence of this space as a leisure park is due to the entrepreneurial spirit of Dr. Eduardo Caldeira who, in the second half of the 19th century, transformed a small and steep plateau in the centre of Águeda into a majestic "oasis" populated by rare and exotic trees and beautiful gardens with leisure facilities.
