Summary

Description

O monumento Chafariz, em estilo Rococó, que ostenta a Estátua de Viana, implantado no Jardim Público Marginal, teve a cerimónia de inauguração em 28 de Agosto de 1774.

Constituindo uma boa peça escultórica, dominada pela figura alegórica de Viana, coroada por um castelo, numa mão a esfera armilar e na outra a caravela heráldica, o Chafariz - Estátua apresenta ao redor quatro plintos, com os bustos representativos das quatro partes do Mundo: Europa, Ásia, África e América, alusivas à tradição mareante e mercantil de Vina do Castelo na Era dos Descobrimentos.

Essa tão requintada Estátua de Viana que encima o monumento, com onze palmos de altura, executada por dois distintos Mestres da viçosa freguesia de Afife, de largas tradições como berço de prestigiados artífices, assenta numa base quadrada, em que na face da frente, a olhar para o rio, apresenta gravada no granito (embora a tinta desaparecesse) a palavra Viana, na parte virada a Nascente Litteris, na que fica voltada a Norte Notabilis, e na face para poente Armis. Que juntamente expressam: Viana-Litteris-Notabilis-Armis, <a href="https://viananamaior.blogs.sapo.pt/2536.html" rel="nofollow">viananamaior.blogs.sapo.pt/2536.html</a>
