Before being a Contemporary Art Center with a Botanical Garden, Casa da Cerca was a former recreational farm. It was a symbol of power, a place of vigilance over the Tagus, a place of refuge, of summer, of charm and contemplation. There are still those who remember it as a closed and ruined palace, the target of many stories that were growing in the popular imagination until its opening to the public in 1993. This visit proposes a trip to the past and present of Casa da Cerca, through its built heritage, contemporary art exhibitions and O Chão das Artes – Jardim Botânico. Visit integrated in the program of the International Day of the Person with Disabilities, promoted by the Municipality of Almada.
