The Cordoaria Garden, also known as the João Chagas Garden, is an example of how gardens represent an important nature-based solution in the urban environment. This green space, founded in 1865, combines historical elements with modern sustainable practices. Recently, a requalification was carried out that included improving the rainwater drainage system, replacing public lighting with more efficient options, and restoring and waterproofing the existing lake. In addition, the replacement of pavements with gravel and the planting of new landscaped areas reinforce support for local biodiversity and promote rainwater infiltration, reducing the risk of flooding in the area. This garden has about 160 trees, several classified as being of public interest, namely the Plane Tree Avenue, the Linden Tree Walk, American Oaks (some centuries old), Araucarias, Cedars and Sequoias, which throughout the year present its visitors with various colors and contrasts. Beyond its environmental function, it also has an important social function, being a thoroughfare for many visitors and residents, surrounded by a museum, university campuses, a hospital, and important tourist attractions in the city. It is a true green lung in the urban center of Porto. Various cultural events and activities take place in this garden, combining nature with the various needs of the population in that area.

The plane trees in the Jardim da Cordoaria in Porto are one of the most striking features of this historic park. These are specimens of Platanus × hispanica (European plane), planted in the 19th century, which form two monumental rows along the garden's paths.

The lower part of the trunks is massively thickened. Is this a tree disease or what's going on here?

This is the highest point on the ridge of the Serra de Santa Justa. Along the quartzite ridges, the view opens up into an impressive panorama, revealing the grandeur of the landscape in all directions.

It has great climbing walls with some roofs and many routes, a spectacular place to climb

You can relax for a while in the small park. Very nicely laid out

The Jardim do Infante D. Henrique in Porto was created in 1885 and accompanied the revitalization of an area that was the city's commercial center, with the Palácio da Bolsa as its mainstay. The garden has undergone several transformations over the years and now features an underground parking garage. It is located in a lively area surrounded by important city buildings such as the Palácio da Bolsa, the Mercado Ferreira Borges, and the Instituto do Vinho do Porto. The Praça do Infante D. Henrique, where the garden is located, is named after Infante D. Henrique, considered one of the most important figures of the early Portuguese voyages of discovery and believed to have been born nearby in 1394, in the so-called Casa do Infante. This historic site was part of the grounds of the Convento de São Domingos and was acquired by the Associação Comercial do Porto for urban development following the victory of liberalism in the Portuguese Civil War and the subsequent dissolution of the male religious orders in 1834. In 1894, the first stone column was placed for the monument to Infante Dom Henrique, which was inaugurated in 1900. The square was renovated as part of the Sociedade Porto projects in 2001, including the creation of an underground car park with 319 spaces and the redesign of the green area.
