The Jardim da República in Horta is a pretty public garden, with wide avenues and grassed parterres. There is a small romantic lake edged with lava stones and a bandstand, where concerts and other performances take place. The gardens are beautifully planted with species such as araucarias, ginkgos, ashes, elms, oaks, magnolias and kapoks (cotton-silk trees). Close to the garden are some important examples of the city’s most distinctive architecture, with buildings such as the Sociedade Amor da Pátria, Escola Primária Coronel Silva Leal and the Império dos Nobres.
