Park Atlas is an unprecedented collection by the Serralves Foundation that aims to celebrate the biodiversity and natural heritage of the Serralves Park, one of Portugal’s most emblematic green spaces.

This publication takes on significant importance by documenting and celebrating the Park’s natural, ecological and landscape wealth through the presentation of different issues, providing a detailed look at its biodiversity and an integrated vision of the relationship between nature and art, which coexist harmoniously here. Each book will explore a distinctive group that inhabits the Park, seeking to bring the public closer to the natural narrative of this unique space. 

The Camellias booklet offers an in-depth look at this species’ diverse presence in the Serralves Park, highlighting the plant’s life cycle with a particular focus on its exuberance and seasonal transformation, using the photographic record provided by researcher and photographer Lísia Lopes from the Herbarium at the University of Aveiro’s Biology department, and the specialist identification provided by prominent camel camellia collectors, António Assunção and Armando Oliveira.
