Located by the marina, the area now occupied by Manuel Bivar Gardens was called Queen’s Square when, in 1491, the village of faro was bestowed upon Queen Dona Leonor. At the end of the 15th century (1499) the area became the new civic and trade centre as a result of development carried out by King D. Manuel I. Known in later years Old Queen’s Square, and later renamed Manuel Bivar Gardens, they provide a beautiful reception area for visitors to the city. There is an elegant bandstand dating from the end of the 19th century.
