    She was a Portuguese princess from the House of Avis. She became Queen of Portugal in 1481 when she married her cousin João II. The statue is quite new and dates from 1958.

    The statue represents the queen, life-size and majestic in appearance, cast in cast bronze, and was originally placed in front of the museum, occupying the site where it is today, flanking the entrance to the museum, in 1961.

    The inauguration took place on 8 December 1958, to mark the fifth centenary of the birth of Queen Leonor. The then recently created Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was the precursor to this event, promoted by a national committee, which included the mayor of Beja at the time, José António Silva.
