Cordoaria Park

Jardim da Cordoaria, Cordoaria's Garden, Jardim de João Chagas
Portugal, Porto
Officially, this park has been called the garden of Joan Chagas since 1924, but it is more commonly known as the Cordoaria Garden - which means "Garden of the Rope Makers". This unusual name arose because the rope-making craftsmen (cordoeirosi) once worked at this place. In the middle of the XIX century. Corduaria Square was turned into a public park and became a favorite place for locals to relax.
The garden has a triangular shape, and unusual plane trees grow here. It is also notable for its many sculptures. The funniest of them is a series of works "Thirteen people laugh at each other" by sculptor João Muños.
Cordoaria Park is located in the center of Porto, next to the Clerigos Tower.

The small Cordoaria Park is located in the center of Porto, next to the Clerigos Tower. It is interesting for its sculptural compositions and unusual plane trees. Sculptures and statues are scattered throughout the garden: you should pay attention to the statues of Ramalho Ortigan and Antó nio Nobre, as well as the sculptures "The Abduction of Ganymede" and "Flora". Particularly entertaining are the works of the Spanish sculptor Juan Munosh "Thirteen people laugh at each other. " They represent the podium of the auditorium, on which several cheerful and laughing men are sitting.
