The monument honors Portuguese soldiers who died in World War I. Designed by Guilherme and Carlos Rebelo de Andrade and sculpted by Maximiano Alves, construction began in 1923 and the monument was inaugurated in 1931. Engraved on the base are the names and dates of key battles where Portuguese troops fought. The inscription "Ao serviço da Pátria, o esforço da Grei" translates to "In service of the homeland, the effort of the people," reflecting a collective national tribute.
