Monument to the Women of the 1947 Tragedy

Highlight • Monument

It is almost impossible not to stop in front of this group of sculptures by José João, erected in 2005. It commemorates the unfortunate events that followed a violent storm on the morning of 2 December 1947, in which numerous ships were shipwrecked and 152 sailors died.

Senhor do Padrão Garden

Highlight • Monument

Garden next to Porto de Leixoes and Matosinhos beach, where a garden area has been developed to give a dignified setting to the Senhor do Padrão monument. This 1758 dome is now classified as a National Monument and has great religious significance for the population. The monument marks the place where, according to legend, it gave the coast in 124 AD the image of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos. The site also serves as a link between the Matosinhos waterfront and the fishing center. portoenorte.pt/pt/o-que-fazer/jardim-do-senhor-do-padrao

Anémona (She Changes) Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Held up by three metal posts, this gigantic 42-metre diameter net moves with the wind, imitating the movement of anemones. It is a sculpture in constant change, which is why it was named She Moves. But we affectionately call it anemone.

Unfortunately, our anemone has been experiencing some difficulties. In 2007, the structure began to deteriorate rapidly due to the weather conditions. The Matosinhos City Council and Janet Echelman reached an agreement regarding the restoration of the sculpture, with the artist agreeing to pay for the replacement of the net, since it had a 5-year warranty.
