The monument to the Marquis of Pombal, located in Lisbon, is currently in line for national classification. This classification represents a recognition of the historical and cultural heritage that the sculpture represents for the city and the country.
The construction of the monument was made possible thanks to a public subscription, which demonstrates the support and interest of the Portuguese population in honoring the memory of the Marquis of Pombal. This form of collective financing reflects the importance that the statesman's figure had for the Portuguese of the time.
The sculpture was inaugurated on May 13, 1934, at Marquis of Pombal Square, one of the main public spaces in the Portuguese capital. This square constitutes a pivotal point in the city, being a place of great circulation and symbolic relevance.
The ongoing national classification process aims to protect and preserve this monument, ensuring that this historical landmark continues to be valued and maintained for future generations.
