Lisbon – Equestrian statues https://equestrianstatue.org by Kees van Tilburg Mon, 23 Nov 2020 09:16:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.11 Ferreira do Amaral https://equestrianstatue.org/amaral-ferreira-do/ Wed, 06 Apr 2016 09:00:00 +0000 http://equestrianstatue.org/?p=1049 The statue of Ferreira do Amaral defending himself from his aggressors was erected in Macau in 1940. Before the return of Macau to China in 1990, the Chinese removed all the colonial symbols and shipped the statue to Lisbon, where it now stands in the outskirts of the town, near the airport.

The statue, overlooking the Tagus River, still dominates Lisbon’s main plaza, the Praça do Comércio; in the past a car park, nowadays a pleasant setting for the statue.
