Dragon Fountain - Braga

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

The iron sculpture "O Dragão" is by Aureliano Aguiar and was made in 2009.

There are more works by this author scattered around the city

The dragon was purchased in Coimbra where it adorned a fountain in the city centre.

This work won the artistic prize “Utopia 2009” – Portuguese Center for Fantastic Art.

The connection with the city could be because the green dragon was one of the symbols of the Suevi . When they invaded the Iberian Peninsula in the 5th century, they settled in the old Roman province of Galicia and founded a kingdom with Braga as its capital.
