Culture

The main goal of the Parque Terras Altas (Highlands Park) is to promote access to culture in its various forms of expression, as well as stimulate knowledge and reflections on art and cultural memory.

Through various spaces and projects, we will promote artistic-cultural exchange between different areas, generations, cultures and social classes.

Our project is divided into two stages: the first is meant to be accomplished by December 2019 and the second stage will be accomplished in the following two years. The places and projects of the first stage are listed below.
