Inaugurated with pomp and circumstance on April 10th 1932<\/strong>, in Largo da Meia Laranja, on Avenida Figueiredo Faria, the Monument to the Deceased of the Great War<\/strong> celebrates the lives of the Vila do Conde’s fighters who died in World War I.<\/p>\n

The granite monument has two circular steps as its base, where a Maltese cross rests, quartered by three more steps, and on which a quadrangular cross rises. The face facing the avenue displays an embossing of the Vila do Conde’s arms<\/strong> and a bronze sword<\/strong> in a medieval style; the face facing the river, has a embossing of an armillary sphere; the lateral faces, present embossings of the war cross.<\/p>\n

Its construction is due to the efforts of the “Group of 20 Friends of the Happy Youth”, as well as Commander Coutinho Lanhoso<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
