The Sabrosa Municipal Council will invest over one million euros in the requalification of Largo da Fontainha, an intervention that president Helena Lapa considered to be a "long-needed work". The project aims to bring new dynamism and centrality to a space that, according to the mayor, is "completely abandoned" and in a state of degradation "very advanced".
Helena Lapa explained that the municipality intends to maintain and preserve the main elements of the square, including the century-old plane trees and the baroque-style fountain that exists there. The goal is to preserve what is important in the collective memory of the Sabrosenses, while creating a structure of social well-being, of meeting and sharing.
The intervention will make Largo da Fontainha into a new centrality that will connect with BB King park, the municipal market, the secondary school, the historic center, and Quinta dos Moura. The mayor stated that this new project will give a "new centrality" to the town of Sabrosa.
