Camões Garden

Camões Garden at Camões Square is one of the largest and most secluded parks in Macau. Adjacent to the Casa Garden and the famous Protestant Cemetery, this serene area is frequented by Tai Chi groups, aerobics practitioners and avid people-watchers. Chinese of all ages jog, stretch and stroll through the park from dawn to dusk.

The renowned Portuguese poet Luís de Camões, for whom the park was named, lived in the vicinity and completed his national epic "Os Lusídas" in Macau. As a wealthy Portuguese kept many pigeons near the park, the local people call it White Pigeons' Nest. A small bronze statute of Camões can be found in the park grotto and at the far end of the garden is a fountain with a bronze sculpture entitled "Embrace" signifying the centuries' old friendship between Portugal and China.

Nearby, Casa Garden, a southern European style building built in 1770 was originally the residence of a wealthy Portuguese merchant and today serves as the headquarters of the Orient Foundation, a private cultural institution involved in local and regional community and cultural affairs. The Protestant Cemetery abutting the Casa Garden is the final resting place of many famous Westerners including Robert Morrison, who first translated the Bible into Chinese, and the accomplished Irish China-trade artist George Chinnery.
