To the north, a staircase descends back to the lower level. The western half of Jardim da Rua Inocêncio Francisco da Silva, still under development, offers a glimpse into the garden’s future. It’s a wild, untamed space where vegetation grows freely, hinting at the vibrant green oasis to come. Jardim da Rua Inocêncio Francisco da Silva embodies the seamless integration of nature into the urban landscape.
