Estatua de Viana - Viana do Castelo

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Questa statua in onore della città si trova proprio di fronte al porto turistico, nei giardini che vanno da Avenida Marginal a Largo João da Costa (dove si è tenuta la fiera del libro). La costruzione risale al XVIII secolo ed è interamente scolpita nella pietra.

La figura femminile in abiti fluenti, che regge una caravella , in stile rococò, che domina l'intero decoro, simboleggia Viana e la sua vocazione marinara. I quattro busti che completano gli angoli del piedistallo simboleggiano i continenti europeo, asiatico, africano e americano, come allusione ai "quattro angoli del mondo" e alla tradizione marinara e mercantile del popolo viennese.

Questo monumento fu il primo ad essere dedicato alla città stessa, ma nel XX secolo venne costruita una nuova versione della statua , questa volta di fronte al castello di Santiago da Barra e al porto commerciale.
