Monument to Pedro IV
Monument to Pedro IV, Bronze monument in Santo Ildefonso, Portugal.
The Monument to Pedro IV is a 10-meter bronze statue on Liberdade Square showing the king on horseback holding the constitutional charter. The pedestal features detailed reliefs depicting significant moments from his life.
The monument was erected in 1866 to honor Pedro IV's role in establishing constitutional order in Portugal. It was created by 19th-century craftsmen to preserve his political legacy.
The king is framed by oak and bay branches on the pedestal, symbols of strength and glory. These decorative elements blend with the coats of arms of Braganza and Porto, showing how the city honors its royal past.
The monument stands on a large public square in central Porto and is easily reached on foot. The location is accessible and offers space to walk around and view the details from different angles.
The original marble carvings on the pedestal were replaced with bronze copies to protect the fine details from weather and time. This approach shows how monuments are preserved so future generations can still see them.
