Hiking

The Monumento ao 25 de Abril is intended to commemorate the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1974, which led to the fall of the dictatorial Salazar regime. The chain at the foot of the monument used to be hanging, but had to be taken down for safety reasons (chain swayed in strong winds). Nevertheless, this should symbolize the "breaking of the chains" and thus the way to freedom.

At the end of Praia da Liberdade, near the river, stands the monument dedicated to April 25, 1974 (Estátua do 25 de abril or Estátua da Liberdade), a tribute to the people of Viana who fought for freedom. This sculpture by José Rodrigues was inaugurated on April 25, 1999.
Beautiful for photos; the fountains create a small water feature show.

Well, what can you say, from a distance it looks like a big guillotine, when you get closer, you think something heavy must have been hanging there, as the chain broke.😄
