This bench is dedicated to Eugénio de Andrade, a famous Portuguese poet. It is placed in front of the Torre de Belém (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) so you can sit and admire it.
The bench is made of stone and it reads:
"Vêm morrer à praia e são jovens
as sereias,
jovens como andar à chuva,
a brusca melancolia,
o lume aceso na cal,
jovens como as baladas escocesas
ou as molhadas sílabas de Junho,
e com a lua nova
vêm morrer no areal.
Eugénio de Andrade"
Eugénio de Andrade
