An enduring symbol of unity. Here at the Padrão do Tratado de Tagilde Sculpture, we are reminded of a pact forged centuries ago. The Padrão do Tratado de Tagilde Sculpture, erected in 1953, commemorates the Treaty of Tagilde, signed in 1372. This treaty, a military alliance between Portugal and England, is the oldest of its kind still in effect today. The treaty was signed between King Ferdinand I of Portugal and representatives of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. The treaty solidified their alliance against Castile. It marked the beginning of a long-lasting bond between Portugal and England. This alliance has endured through wars, political upheavals, and changing times. The Padrão do Tratado de Tagilde Sculpture stands as a testament to this enduring relationship. It symbolizes the power of diplomacy and the significance of international cooperation.
