Sítio of Nazaré was once very populated by deer. The famous Legend of Nazaré reports that Dom Fuas Roupinho was hunting in Sítio and that, on a foggy 12th century morning, he isolated himself from his companions when he was chasing a deer that fell on the cliff. On the verge of fall, the knight cried out for the help of Our Lady of Nazaré. The horse sticked its rear legs at the top of the cliff immediately, saving Dom Fuas Roupinho's life. In recent years, Praia do Norte of Nazaré has been the stage where the biggest waves on the planet are surfed - 30 meters have been recorded. In this anthropomorphic work by Agostinho Pires and sculptor Adália Alberto (offered to the Municipality of Nazaré) the references to these two remarkable moments of Nazaré's history are visible, extolling the past and praising the present, both conjugated in the sculpture "Veado".Okumaya devam et
