Estátua de Homenagem a Nuno Gonçalves e Gonçalo Nunes

Nuno Gonçalves was Alcaide-mor of the Castle de Faria, in the reign of Ferdinand I of Portugal. At this point the troops of Castile invaded our country. Taken prisoner by the Castilians, was taken to the walls of Castelo de Faria, in an attempt to convince his son, Gonçalo Nunes, then Chief of the garrison, to surrender. However, Nuno Gonçalves took the opportunity to urge his son to the resistance, and was promptly shot down. This episode became a legend and narrated by Alexandre Herculano.
