Introduction
The Augusto Street Triumphal Arch is located on the north side of the commercial square. It took more than 100 years to build and was originally designed as a clock tower, but over time, it was transformed into an exquisite arch. There are four statues on the top, with the right two being Nuno Álvares Pereira and the Marquis of Pombal, and the left two being Vasco da Gama and Viriato. These two reclining figures represent the two major rivers in Portugal, the Tagus and Douro rivers, and are symbolic of the building. Address Rua Augusta, 2715-311, Sao Pedro de Penaferrim, Portugal
