No centro do imenso planalto de solo granítico protegido pelas serras da Estrela, Montemuro e Caramulo, a cidade de Viseu é reconhecidamente a capital de uma das mais singulares regiões vitivinícolas de Portugal. A cidade de Viriato é mais do que os monumentos que respiram a nossa história. É também o legado arquitetónico e a memória. A atribuição do epíteto de Cidade-Jardim a Viseu não é de agora. Entre os anos 20 e 30 do século XX, diversos executivos municipais promoveram melhoramentos a nível dos espaços públicos da cidade.
