This 30-meter high obelisk was designed by António Thomaz da Fonseca and was erected in 1886 in memory of the country's liberation by the Restauradores who put an end to 60 years of Spanish domination in 1640. The bronze figures on the base of the obelisk symbolize Victory and Liberty. The monument also bears the names and dates of the battles during the Portuguese Restoration War.
