Monument to the Restorers, Limestone obelisk in Restauradores Square, Lisbon, Portugal
The Monument to the Restorers stands 30 meters tall with a central obelisk and two bronze figures representing Independence and Victory at its base.
The structure commemorates Portugal's independence restoration from Spanish rule during the war fought between 1640 and 1668 under the House of Braganza.
Bronze panels on the monument's sides display inscriptions of major battles including Linhas de Elvas, Ameixial, Castelo Rodrigo, and Montes Claros.
The monument sits in a central location accessible via Restauradores metro station, with numerous hotels and restaurants in the surrounding Baixa district.
Public donations from Portuguese and Brazilian families funded the construction, rather than government or royal treasury resources.
