The monument to the Presidents of the Republic is an urban art intervention, located in Plaza 25 de Abril, in the center of Fafe, which marks the first cycle of the “Fafe Conferences”, held in the city between April and July 2022.
It was designed by the Municipal Technical Department, which, when designing the element, considered the adoption of simple forms to mark, with material symbolism, the democratic representation of the country.

A set of granite elements, displayed horizontally, represent a time scale with 48 pieces that symbolize 48 years of democracy. Throughout this time sequence, five vertical metal elements stand out, each of which shows a figurative image and a brief biography of each President of the Republic elected after April 25, 1974.

The Plaza 25 de Abril, whose symbolism is undeniable, was the place chosen for the installation of the monument that contributes to reinforcing the symbolic value of the space, both for its name and also for being the most noble square in the city of Fafe. .

The work was inaugurated by the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, on July 22, 2022, during his presence in Fafe to close the “I Jornadas de Fafe”. The initiative, promoted by the municipality, brought together the former Presidents of the Republic and the current President in Fafe for a broad reflection on the 48 years of building Portuguese democracy, after 48 years of dictatorship, in the run-up to the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of April 25.
