The piece is called “The Cat and the Wind” and is by the artist Ricardo Romero. It is located on top of the Casa do Turismo de Setúbal. If you have ever been for a walk in the Baixa district, you must have noticed the enormous black cat installed on the roof of the Casa do Turismo de Setúbal, in Praça do Bocage. As soon as the sculpture was installed in 2021, several images of the piece began to be shared on social media, accompanied by some questions related to the artist.
