The Island of Sculptures is a unique open-air museum set on a small island in the Lérez River, connected to the city by footbridges. The park features a collection of large-scale contemporary sculptures by international artists, integrated into lush greenery and riverside trails. Visitors can stroll along the paths, admire the artworks against the backdrop of the river and mountains, and enjoy a serene escape from the urban bustle. It's a favorite spot for joggers, families, and art lovers.

  • See the striking granite 'Monolith' by Francisco Leiro rising from the grass.
  • Walk the wooden footbridge over the river for views of the sculptures and water.
  • Find the whimsical 'Casa das Pedras' by Manolo Paz, a house-shaped stone structure.
