Praça Gil Eanes – Statue of D. Sebastião by João Cutileiro.
The work of reinterpreting the statue of D. Sebastião by João Cutileiro from the Gatilho Group and the students of the 12th grade D class at the Júlio Dantas School. The 18th of May marks the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of the statue of João Cutileiro in Praça Gil Eanes, a work that at the time was very controversial, as the use of stone was done in an innovative way and the image of the king was not the “ conventional”. Over the years, it has gained its place both in the city and in the hearts of locals and tourists. A cultural note is created that lasts since January, which has a multicultural, inclusive aspect and is generated by multiple partners working for culture.
