The statue of Fernando Pessoa is situated right in front of the Cafe A Brasileira, on Rua Garrett. Its author is the sculptor from Lisbon Antonio Augusto Lagoa Henriques. We see an eminent writer sitting at a table in Brasileir's cafe, in his second home, where he usually wrote.Rua Garrett was once the intellectual landmark of the city, now concentrating many shops, old bookstores and important cafes. Fernando Pessoa is without a doubt one of the greatest Portuguese names. Here you can take pictures with the statue as well as enjoy a coffee in one of the symbols of Lisbon.

The O Cauteleiro Statue is an interesting tribute to local lottery ticket sellers. It's meant to be fun tribute to the common man and is a nice distraction from the usual monuments to the over-privileged. The sculpture depicts a rather short man with a smile on his face. He is wearing a uniform and holding out a lottery ticket. Visitors like to rub ticket for good luck and it's noticeably shiny from all the passers-by trying to acquire a bit of good fortune.

Jesuit priest, theologian, teacher, orator, diplomat and writer, Antonio Viera undoubtedly qualifies for the title of accomplished polymath. At the age of six he moved with his parents to Brazil and received his formative education there. As a young man he declared that he wanted to dedicate his life to the spread of Christianity in the colonies, and this he did. Inherent in this he pleaded the cause of indigenous peoples.
