Luís de Camões Garden (Chinese: 白鴿巢公園, Portuguese: Jardim de Luís de Camões) is a public park in Santo António, Macau, located next to the Church of Santo António. It is the oldest park in the territory, covering 20,000 square metres (220,000 sq ft) of space. [1]

Camões Grotto is the former home of 16th century Portuguese poet Luís de Camões and one time Macau resident. Years later, the British East India Company bought the mansion and established its headquarters there.

The facility includes the Macao Public Library Wong Ieng Kuan Library in Luís de Camões Garden (Biblioteca de Wong Ieng Kuan no Jardim Luís de Camões Garden; 白鴿巢公園黃營均圖書館)[2]
