The bronze statue is dedicated to Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese navigator and explorer.
Vasco da Gama was born in Sines in 1469 and played a significant role in Portugal. He is said to have studied navigation and mathematics in Évora, studies that assisted him on his various voyages. Vasco da Gama commanded the maritime expedition to the Indies, which set out from Lisbon on July 8, 1497, circumnavigated the African continent, and arrived in Caldas da Rainha on May 18, 1498, making him a wealthy and respected man in Portugal. After his second voyage to India, he settled in Évora in 1513.
