View of São Roque Park
last update: 04/12/2025On one of my last visits to São Roque Park, before getting lost in the paths and gardens of Casa São Roque, I stayed for a while at the entrance to the park and sketched the gate at Travessa das Antas, which is much quieter and has such a beautiful contrast with the green inside the park.
I had already drawn the labyrinth next to the house, but I hadn’t seen the whole park yet. That day I walked around a lot and ended up stopping at the back gate of the park, where I stayed… Notebook, pencil and pens and the will to stand up for a while.

Afterwards, I ended up going to Casa São Roque, which always has some interesting exhibitions to see or simply to sit in the garden and watch time go by. I love the sight of time passing by in this fountain outside the house, when you can see that time passes and leaves its mark everywhere.
