Monument Deads of Great War

Great place to make stop- over and one photo.

Glorious monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the First World War on the Avenida de Liberdade.

There are quite a few statues and busts situated along Avenida da Liberdade. You can also see the large scale Monument to the Dead of the Great War which is situated in front of the Spain Embassy and near the Avenida Metro Station.

The monument honours Portuguese who died fighting in WWI and was inaugurated in 1931. It is the work of Portuguese architects Guilherme and Carlos Rebelo de Andrade. What you see is a large figure representing the Fatherland grasping a flag while placing a crown on the head of kneeling solider. There are two larger male figures bracing and holding up the monument pedestal as well.

A good place to pay your respect.

It is a nice statue, well located, good for a picture while going to see the gardens

Did enjoy the view. Great place to see the City

... what is there to say, it is a statue, it's big and beautiful, nice to see, but not something you need to see when you visit Lisbon. Not disrespecting that is is a monument for war victims, but yeah, just a statue.
