Chamber ordered four sculptures of people playing sports

In the riverside area of ​​Silves, even sculptures are sporting. Four iron statues by Carlos de Oliveira Correia were installed next to the red carpet of this leisure area in the region, to make the space «more pleasant» and ensure that those who pass by have company.

The sculptures represent people doing different sports and wellness activities, such as running, cycling and yoga.

According to the City Council of Silves, which commissioned the works of art, the objective is to make the riverside a “more pleasant place, with a view to beautifying the public space, preserving its association with the promotion of sports and recreation”.

This is, by the way, a space already very connected to sport, as it includes the complex of municipal swimming pools in Silves, the crosswalk for walking, jogging and cycling, the skate park, the stations of street workout and sports park.
