Santiago Park in Setúbal is a historically significant green space dating back to the 16th century, originally forming part of the Convent of Santa Maria da Arrábida. Following the Liberal Wars in the 19th century, the convent was dismantled and the land repurposed as a public garden. The park underwent significant renovations in the 1930s under the direction of landscape architect Keil do Amaral, resulting in its current formal design featuring symmetrical layouts, sculpted hedges, fountains and tiled panels depicting scenes from Portuguese history and maritime exploration. It remains a central recreational area for residents and visitors to Setúbal, hosting various cultural events throughout the year due to its central location and established infrastructure. The park’s design reflects a blend of historical context and modernist aesthetic principles.
