Writer and literary critic
This monument is at one of the entrances to the Jardim da Cordoaria (also called João Chagas or Campo dos Martires da Patria). It's a granite pedestal on which stands a stone statue of Ramalho Ortigão, writer/literary critic who was born in Oporto in the late eighteenth century. Directly in front is the Carmelite Church (Igreja do Carmo).
