Faro - Jardim Manuel Bivar

Peace and quiet can be enjoyed in the Jardim Manuel Bivar, to the south of the square. This garden with its attractive flower beds, tall palms and jacaranda trees is a favorite haunt of the elder citizens of Faro who sit here and watch the world go by. On the east side of the park stands the Igreja da Misericórdia, a 14th C. church that was restored after the 1755 earthquake.
