Estátua de São Pedro da Afurada

In these fishermen’s quarters every year, on June, 29th, take place the festivities of its patron saint: São Pedro (Saint Peter). The bronze statue over a granite pedestal, located in the Vasco da Gama Street, is part of that spirit of adoration to the patron saint of the fishermen.
