    Located next to the Constantino Palha Municipal Garden, a bronze sculpture was installed next to the pier, in the riverside area of Vila Franca de Xira, in honor of the jorna workers. The work of the sculptor João Duarte was inaugurated in July 2013.

    This sculpture saves the memory of the men and women who gathered on the pier looking for work (la jorna which means a day of work). The farmers or their foremen arrived by boat and hired a good part of the labor for the fields of Lezíria or for the factories of the municipality.

    Cais da Jorna, located on the riverside of Vila Franca de Xira, was a meeting point for rural workers. In tribute, the City Council installed a sculpture by João Duarte representing this historical scene. The monument, opened in 2013, includes four anthropomorphic figures and a hand symbolizing the foreman. The work, although it represents workers' utensils, has a contemporary and sophisticated style.
