Very impressive while walking towards it. Milestone for pilgrims. Windy Wien we were there. But beautiful beaches and area.

Monument to the \Braves of Mindelo\. When Portugal was invaded by French troops in 1807, king John VI of Portugal and the royal family fled to Brazil, Portugal's largest and wealthiest colony. Born in Lisbon, Pedro I was the fourth child of king John VI of Portugal and queen Carlota Joaquina. The outbreak of the Liberal Revolution of 1820 in Lisbon compelled John VI to return to Portugal in April 1821, leaving Pedro I to rule Brazil as regent. Pedro I later led a revolt proclaiming Brazilian independence 7 September 1822, assuming the title of emperor. During the Portuguese Civil War or Liberal Wars (1828 - 1834), Pedro I of Brazil abdicated in favor of his son, who became emperor Pedro II of Brazil and returned to Portugal as king Pedro IV. With the help of English liberals, a military expedition led by Pedro IV disembarked in this beach on July 8, 1832, and attacked the Absolutist army in Porto led by his brother Miguel.The war would end two years later with Miguel's capitulation. Pedro IV's army of 7500 became known as the \Braves of Mindelo\ (Mindelo being a nearby beach), but the real landing was in fact where this monument stands.

O Obelisco da Memória assinala o local onde a 8 de julhode 1832, desmbarcaram D. Pedro IV e 7500 homens do exército Liberal, marcando o início do fim do Regime Absolutista que até então dominava em Portugal. Após o desembarque, o exército Libertador avançou para a cidade do Porto onde ficaria cercado durante um ano ( Cerco do Porto). O lançamento da primeira pedra deste monumento à memória desse acontecimento ocorreu no dia 1 de Dezembro de 1840, estando presente a Rainha D. Maria II, filha de D. Pedro IV. Depois de várias vicissitudes, o Obelisco foi concluido apenas em 1864, tendo sido classificado como Monumento Nacional em 1880. Além disso existe um enorme passadiço por onde se pode caminhar desde a Boa Nova até Angeiras, passando o mesmo em redor deste monumento tornando-o visitável! É um percurso extremamente agradável deslumbrando-se várias praias da vosta de Matosinhos. Aconselho a visitar com os amigos e ou com a Família, é um local extremamente agradável!
