Estátua do Marquês de Pombal, Bronze statue at Marques de Pombal Square, Avenidas Novas, Portugal.
The monument stands 40 meters tall, featuring a bronze statue of Marquis of Pombal with his hand resting on a lion at the top.
Inaugurated in 1934, this monument commemorates Sebastiao Jose de Carvalho e Melo, who governed Portugal during the Enlightenment period from 1750 to 1777.
The pedestal contains medallions depicting Pombal's collaborators and allegorical figures representing his reforms in education, agriculture, and politics.
The monument sits at a major transportation hub connecting multiple metro lines and bus routes in the center of Lisbon.
The statue faces the Baixa district, which Pombal reconstructed after the 1755 earthquake, with broken stones at the base symbolizing the destruction.
