Monumento aos Açorianos, Steel monument in central Porto Alegre, Brazil
The Azorean Monument stands 17 meters tall and extends 24 meters in length, featuring intertwined human figures forming a caravel shape with steel components.
The monument commemorates the arrival of sixty Azorean couples who settled in Porto Alegre, then known as Porto dos Casais, in 1752.
The structure includes a winged figure at its front, representing victory and drawing inspiration from the mythological character of Icarus.
Located in Praca dos Acorianos near the Stone Bridge and State Administrative Center, the monument received extensive restoration work completed in 2019.
The Brazilian Bar Association participates in an adoption program to maintain the monument, ensuring its continuous preservation since 2019.
