Lisbon - Guerra Peninsular

The "Guerra Peninsular" monument, a reminder of the battles against the Napoleonic invasion at the beginning of the 19th C., stands in the middle of the Entrecampos roundabout. Scenes of resistance are depicted on the plinth, with the victorious Portuguese nation portrayed above. Some soldiers are driving off the eagle of the Napoleonic empire. The memorial, whose design exhibits a variety of NeoManueline features, was erected here in 1933.
