Praceta Fernando Pessoa is located in the town of Padrões, within the Mazedo and Cortes urbanisation, in the municipality of Monção. This space is integrated into a residential area, giving it a serene and easily accessible atmosphere for those exploring the region.
Its layout allows for a tranquil pause within an urban environment, providing a point of interest that complements the residential landscape of the area, particularly known as Urbanização da Boavista.
This location was developed with the purpose of honouring the work and figure of Fernando Pessoa, one of the greatest names in Portuguese literature. The square's project sought to infuse a sense of modernity and attractiveness, reflecting the creativity and depth associated with the poet.
Its requalification was designed to offer a pleasant and safe area, conceived for the enjoyment of both residents and visitors to this area of Monção, presenting a well-maintained and renovated environment.
One of the most characteristic features of Praceta Fernando Pessoa is the presence of a unique artistic piece. This work incorporates the image of the poet and, significantly, includes the inscription of verses from his celebrated poem, "Tabacaria".
This sculptural and literary detail invites a moment of reflection, establishing a direct connection with Fernando Pessoa's poetic universe. The presence of this quotation enriches the visitor's experience, offering a cultural perspective and an invitation to contemplation.
