    Gil was the mascot of Expo’98. Created by painter António Modesto and sculptor Artur Moreira, it was selected from 309 proposals.
    The mascot was named Gil, in honor of the Portuguese navigator Gil Eanes. The name was chosen by José Luís Coelho, then 10 years old and a student at Escola do Ensino Básico de Barrancos, who participated in a competition that involved schools from all over the country.

    The statue of the mascot Gil is located in Parque das Nações, in Lisbon, Portugal. There are actually three five-meter-tall statues of Gil scattered throughout the area, which were restored in 2024 to shine again.
