A beautiful place in Castelo Branco! This was the third time I went to the city and I can say I regret not going earlier to this amazing garden! The place itself is not that big, we are not talking about a huge park here, but rather a cozy and really beautiful small garden. What I found interesting about this place is the mix between the green and the statues. You can go and try to find what's written under the statues as a fun way to explore the place. Onde suggestion though would be to change the font under the statues, it looks way to much modern compared to the place history, I would rather see a hand drawn label than something that looks like an A4 printed at home. Apart from that, the place is totally worth going and amazing to take pictures. You only have to pay 2€ to get in but its worth it! A nice day trip to Castelo Branco.

A pretty garden with small fountain and lakes with an abundance of statues. It is located at the back of the old palace that served as the residence of several bishops of Guarda and later those of Castelo Branco. The statues are representing many figures, from kings and bishops to the symbol of each month or elements like fire. It is also adjacent to the Francisco Tavares Proença Júnior Museum which was the residence of the bishops. I recommend visiting this lovely park to everyone. The explanations are in Portuguese and also in English. Opening Hours: April to September: 09h00-19h00;October to March 09h00-17h00. Entrance fee: 2€.

Lovely place to take photos. It is nice to discover all the different statues around the gardens although they are not organised by category and some of them need some TLC. This place has been preserved well and looks the same as it did 20 years ago. It is quite muddy so not the best idea during wet weather. There are toilet facilities. Price is €3 per person, under 10yo go free. You can buy the ticket on the day. I would say you need only 1 hour to see everything there as it is a small space. Be careful if you have young children as some of the areas are dangerous to walk through with no barriers between levels.

O Jardim do Paço Episcopal de Castelo Branco revela-se como um dos mais originais exemplares do barroco em Portugal. (5 418 m2) Foi o Bispo da Guarda, D. João de Mendonça (1711-1736) que encomendou e provavelmente orientou as obras do Jardim. Este formoso jardim barroco, em forma rectangular, é dominado por balcões e varandas com guardas de ferro e balaústres de cantaria. Dispõe de cinco lagos, com bordos trabalhados, nos quais estão montados jogos de água. Em termos formais o Jardim divide-se em quatro sítios diferentes, mas ligados por diversos pontos de articulação: a entrada, o patamar do buxo, o Jardim Alagado e o Plano Superior. A Entrada actual do jardim faz-se pelo R. Bartolomeu da Costa desde 1936. O desenho obedeceu ao espírito do lugar, quer no que diz respeito aos Canteiros quer à Escadaria monumental que conduz ao Plano Superior O patamar do Buxo tem planta rectangular, constitui o patamar principal do jardim e divide-se em 24 talhões limitados por sebes de buxo. É aqui que se encontram, numa alusão às 5 chagas de Cristo, cinco lagos com repuxos. É aqui também que se encontra a Escadaria dos Reis, repuxos e jogos de água surpreendentes. Por entre canteiros de buxo de fino recorte, erguem-se simbólicas estátuas de granito, em que se destacam os Novíssimos do Homem, Quatro Virtudes Cardeais, as Três Virtudes Teologais, os Signos do Zodíaco, as Partes do Mundo, as Quatro Estações do Ano, o Fogo e a Caça. Dispostos à maneira de escadório, acham-se representados os Apóstolos e os Reis de Portugal até D. José I. O Jardim alagado contíguo ao anterior. Parece emergir de um lago. É pela escadaria do lado poente que se chega ao patamar superior do Jardim onde se encontram estátuas alusivas ao Antigo Testamento e à simbologia da água como elemento purificador.
