“This imposing concrete structure, almost a monument in itself,” you might think, “but who was Azeredo Perdigão?”. You’re standing before the Monumento a Azeredo Perdigão, a tribute to a man who helped shape Portuguese culture. José de Azeredo Perdigão, born in 1896, wasn’t a king or a general. He was the first President of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. Imagine the weight of that legacy! This foundation, established by the Armenian oil magnate Calouste Gulbenkian, is a powerhouse of arts, charity, and science in Portugal. The sculptor, Pedro Cabrita Reis, chose concrete for the monument. It was a deliberate choice, echoing the aesthetic of the Gulbenkian Foundation’s main building. The Monumento a Azeredo Perdigão, inaugurated in 1996, is more than just a statue. It symbolizes the enduring impact of Perdigão’s vision and the Gulbenkian Foundation on Portuguese society.
