It features a coat of arms as a shield, wrapped in plant ornamentation, and a helmet. It was built in the 18th century and originally stood on an estate in the municipality of Vela (Guarda district) belonging to the Refóios Saraiva family.

The statue, in honor of D. Sancho I (second King of Portugal), was inaugurated on May 28, 1956. The pedestal bears the inscription: "D. Sancho I, 2nd King of Portugal 1185 – 1211, granted Guarda city charter on November 27, 1199."

The city of Guarda, known as the highest city in Portugal, has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Founded by King Sancho I in 1199, the city played a crucial role in defending the Portuguese border and in the country's history. The city is home to several historic buildings, such as the Church of São Vicente, the former Convent of São Francisco, and the Guarda Museum, housed in the former Episcopal Palace. The city has undergone continuous development, honoring its past and seeking modernization, without losing sight of its historical and cultural heritage. 👍

The bar is a perfect place to start the Passodiços do Mondego from Videmonte - there is a shady terrace and there is also a swimming area by the bridge.

Beautiful waterfall with a large bathing pool. Jumps from up to 4 m possible. super cool Located right at the beginning or end of the Mondego Skywalk. To get there you have to climb over the barrier of the boardwalk………. but otherwise no problem.

Mega chilled river pool with a view to dream. A kiosk and a large lawn with shade are also available. From the platform in the water you can jump, lie or just dangle your feet in the water.
