Teófilo Braga Garden
Portugal, Oporto town

The Teófilo Braga Garden (Jardim de Teófilo Braga), formerly known as Jardim de Passos Manuel, is located in the heart of Porto and is one of the city’s oldest and most charming green spaces. It is named after Teófilo Braga, a prominent writer, politician, and the second President of the Portuguese Republic, who played a key role in shaping the country’s cultural and democratic identity.


Established in the late 19th century, the garden retains its classical layout with shaded pathways, flower beds, ornamental trees, and a central fountain. Sculptures and memorial elements within the garden emphasize its cultural importance. A statue dedicated to Teófilo Braga stands as a tribute to his intellectual legacy and historical relevance.


Situated near the São Bento da Vitória Theatre and other cultural landmarks, the garden is a peaceful retreat for both residents and visitors. It offers a quiet space for reflection, leisure, and inspiration, highlighting the connection between urban nature, history, and the cultural life of Porto.
