António Maria Santos da Cunha (1911-1972) is considered a great defender of the interests of the city of Braga, having held various public positions. He was President of the city council of Braga (1949-1961), Official of the Order of Public Instruction in 1960, Commander of the Military Order of Christ from 1961 onwards, Civil Governor of the Braga District (1968-1971), Member of Parliament in the National Assembly for two terms and also President of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Braga. The bronze statue that honours him was designed by Leopoldo de Almeida, one of the most prolific sculptors during the Estado Novo, but only placed in public space in 1984. It represents Santos da Cunha, high on a pedestal, saluting those who enter the city.

Lions Clubs International is an international association of clubs that aims to promote understanding between people on an international scale, address humanitarian causes and promote action for local communities. The monument to "Lionism" sought to mark the 50th anniversary of the movement in Portugal. It is implemented next to the headquarters of the Lions Club of Braga. It was designed by Maria de Lourdes Magalhães, an artist from Fafe, who lives in Braga. It is a column in reinforced concrete with an unfinished look, with a steel ring that embraces it more or less in the middle, with inscriptions.

Lions Clubs International is an international association of clubs that aims to promote understanding between people on an international scale, address humanitarian causes and promote action for local communities. The monument to “Lionism” sought to mark the centenary of the movement at an international level. It was designed by Paulo Neves and is composed of several overlapping cubes that contain his language: the grooves in the work of the stone and the geometrized faces. It contains inscriptions at the base of the monument.

The monument was erected by Braga City Hall to mark the 25 years of history of the Atlantic Axis. It was designed by the sculptor Francisco Lucena, in stone, and is characterised by two fluted shaft columns, topped by a semi-circle which culminates in a kind of puzzle piece symbolising the union between northern Portugal and Galicia.

Within the scope of the protocol signed between the EDP Foundation and Braga City Council, the ENERGIZARTE project took place, which brought to the banks of the Cávado River several interventions, framed in urban art. For this intervention, the students of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado were also challenged to be the protagonists.
In “Aqui não há nada para ver!” There is, on the front of the intervening element, a well-meaning believer who watches over the passer-by. On the sides, you can see the diabolical temptations of lust, the saints that dispute the faithful without considering the means and a proof of maturity evidenced in a handful of sand from the bottom of Cavadinho.

For this intervention, the students of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado were also challenged to be the protagonists.
In this work, in collaboration with José Pedro Santos, three-dimensionality was sought, with the integration of traffic signs in the painting, to conceive an intervention that foresees a change in the perception of the School space to a place where one is endowed with the precious tool of knowledge and has greater freedom of choice.

Within the scope of the protocol signed between the EDP Foundation and Braga City Council, the ENERGIZARTE project took place, which brought to the banks of the Cávado River several interventions, framed in urban art. This work is based on the book "Viagem a Portugal" ("Journey to Portugal") (1981) by José Saramago (1922-2010) who, in his itinerary through Minho, was stopped here by the "saddest eyes that can exist in the world". These eyes belonged to Tone Manta who lived with his sister in conditions of extreme misery. This work is a simple homage to these characters and to all those who, like sunflowers, have lost their heliotropism at some point.

No âmbito do protocolo realizado entre a Fundação EDP e o Município de Braga, teve lugar o projeto ENERGIZARTE que trouxe às margens do Rio Cávado diversas intervenções, enquadráveis na arte urbana.
Cita o autor da obra que “num local de fronteira entre duas freguesias, ergue-se uma torre de vigia do outrora chamado ‘couto de Tibães’.” Eram terras férteis, atravessadas por uma ribeira, que hoje é poluída pelas descargas da ETAR, que já atingiu o seu limite. A intervenção artística pretende, através do irónico reaproveitamento de condutas de saneamento, lançar olhares de alerta, apelando à vigia ambiental da ribeira, do Cávado e das matas do Mosteiro.
