World War I memorial in Lisbon, War memorial in Santo António, Lisbon, Portugal
The stone monument exhibits a central figure representing the Fatherland, accompanied by two supporting sculptures and military equipment at its pedestal.
The memorial project began in April 1920 when a national commission formed to honor Portuguese soldiers who died during World War I.
The monument features inscriptions including 'Grande Guerra' on each side and a quote from poet Augusto Casimiro about service to the nation.
The memorial stands at the intersection of Liberty Avenue and Salitre Street, with multiple public transportation options available for visitors.
Bronze sculptures at the base display authentic military artifacts from World War I, including gas masks, helmets, ammunition belts, and bags.
