Estátua O Cego do Maio
Statue in bronze on a stone column about 2 feet tall. Representing a man who with his hand looking for help look in search of something on the horizon, this monument pays homage to José Rodrigues Maio, humble fisherman who saved many men out of the sea with a courage that was recognized even in life by King Dom Luís I.
