==History==
Built in 1770, the park was originally the residence of a wealthy Portuguese merchant, Manuel Pereira. At a later period, it was rented out to the [[English East India Company]] and was used to house the directors of the Macau branch of the company. In 2005, it was officially enlisted as part of the [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] ''[[Historic Centre of Macau]]''. Nowadays it is a cultural centre, which promotes a cross between Portuguese and Macau/Chinese art. In 2014 [[Sofia Areal]] had an exhibition in Casa Garden after a monthly residence in [[Macau]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2014-12-08 |title=Sofia Areal em exposição na Casa Garden |language=pt |work=Ponto Final |url=https://pontofinalmacau.wordpress.com/2014/12/08/sofia-areal-em-exposicao-na-casa-garden/ |url-status=live |access-date=2017-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116143515/https://pontofinalmacau.wordpress.com/2014/12/08/sofia-areal-em-exposicao-na-casa-garden/ |archive-date=2017-01-16}}</ref> Coupled with an exhibition in Lisbon in 2015 in the [[Museum of the Orient]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=A Oriente tudo de novo – Cadernos de viagem |url=http://www.museudooriente.pt/2564/a-oriente-tudo-de-novo---cadernos-de-viagem.htm#.WHdgw7YrKlM |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170106193450/http://www.museudooriente.pt/2564/a-oriente-tudo-de-novo---cadernos-de-viagem.htm#.WHdgw7YrKlM |archive-date=2017-01-06 |access-date=2017-01-12 |website=Museu Fundação Oriente |language=pt}}</ref>
