Farmers in Alto Minho - Ponte de Lima

The work in the field is honored with a sculptural monument that was unveiled in 2010.

A female figure, on a leash, drags the plough , held in the arms by the fists of a male figure. Two other figures complete the fieldwork scene, carrying out sowing and harvesting tasks .
To evoke love for the land and commemorate the agricultural work that was once the greatest resource of the Minho families: this is the aim of the “Memórias do Campo” monument, inaugurated yesterday in Ponte de Lima.
