The statue of King Dom Sancho I is located in Silves, Algarve, Portugal. This monument commemorates the second king of Portugal, known as "O Povoador" (the Populator), who reigned from 1185 to 1211. He played a crucial role in the reconquest of Silves from the Moors in 1189, which strengthened the kingdom and contributed to the establishment of Portuguese influence in the region.
