EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative statue of Afonso III of Portugal (1210-1279), the first true king of an independent Portugal, stands proudly in the historic city of Faro in the Algarve region. The statue, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Portugal, is a masterpiece of Bolognese sculpture from the 13th century. Born in the County of Portugal, a part of the Kingdom of León and Castile, Afonso III rose to power in the midst of the Middle Ages. He was a member of the House of Bourbon, a Capetian dynasty, and is known for his significant contributions to the development of the Portuguese monarchy and the expansion of its territories. One of Afonso III's most notable achievements was the establishment of the Cortes, the first representative assembly in Portugal, which paved the way for the country's constitutional monarchy. He also played a crucial role in the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors, expanding Portugal's borders to include the Algarve region. This statue, located in the heart of Faro, depicts Afonso III in regal attire, holding a sword in his right hand, symbolizing his power and authority as a monarch. The statue's intricate details and lifelike features showcase the skill and artistry of the Bolognese sculptors of the time. The statue's setting, surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the Algarve, adds to its historical significance and makes it a must-see attraction for visitors to Portugal.
