Stone statue, by Vilar, dated 1971. It portrays Garcia de Orta, a Portuguese physician, born in 1500, who graduated from the Spanish Universities of Salamanca and Alcalá.
In 1526, he began practicing in Portugal and became a professor. Because he was of Jewish origin, although he had already converted to the Catholic religion, he moved, as a precautionary measure, to Goa in 1534, where he studied local plants and wrote a work considered a masterpiece in the history of medicine: "Colloquies on the Simples and Drugs and Medicinal Things of India".
